THE
ESTEY
ORGAN
Is tHe 'World's Standard in
Or^an Btiilding^
Tlie Reasons :—
Over sixty years' unswerving adherence to the prin-
ciple of constructing nothing but the best.
375,000 more than satisfied customers in all quar-
ters of the globe.
A yearly output more than double that of any other
manufacturer of high-grade organs in the world.
Unequalled facilities for testing and experiment,
resulting in improvement where others would think
it impossible.
These facts make it apparent that the Estey Organ
occupies an unassailable position as " the world's
standard," and place it entirely outside the pale of
competition.
We carry a complete range of styles for Church and
School use. Prices from $6^ up.

THE TYPEWRITER
IN THE HOME
WHEREVER there is much writing to
do there should be a typewriter.
Handwriting is too laborious, too exhausting.
It doesn't give the brain a fair show^.
Every minister, author, professional
man will do better work, easier work, when
free of the drudgery of handwriting.
The young folks need a typewriter for
the large amount of writing connected with
their school w^ork.
Our new catalogue of typewriters for
the home shows a score of different
kinds, for every purpose.
Some cost only tP^U others a little more.

" As members of the Congregational Union of Canada we

of the unexpected deajth of Mr. S. H. C. Miner. No one among
us loved our Congregational order more intensely than he. His
deep interest in the welfare of our churches has long been mani-
fested, not only in frequent and large benefactions, but also in
more personal and intimate ways which revealed the kindness
of his heart and encouraged many a church and pastor.
" We would like .to record in particular the deep debt of
gratitude wtich our churches will ever feel for his magnificent
gifts towards the lifting of our church debts, and which went
so far to make the Jubilee Movement a success. Nor can we
ever forget his unstinted generosity towards the College, to
whose welfare he was ever ready to devote, not his wealth alone,
but also his personal and loving service.
" Of his many services to the community in w'hich he lived.

and to the Church with which he wg,s associated from his child-
hood, we need noft speak.
" He was a foremost leader among the men who, by their
personal force, their integrity of soul, their far-seeing wisdom
and heroic enterprise have helped to make Canada great, and we
feel that his death is not only a heavy loss to us as a denomin-
ation, but also to the country he loved so well.
" To the widow and bereaved family and to the Church at
Granby we would express our most heartfelt sympathy and
earnestly commend them to our heavenly Father, tthe unfailing
source of all consolation, our ever-present help in time of
trouble."
It was agreed that the Chairman should send a night-letter
to Mrs. Miner expressing the symipathy of the Union, and the
Chairman named Dr. Warriner to represent the Union at the
funeral of the deceased.
It was moved by Dr. Cook, and seconded by the Rev. H. D.
Whitmore, that
" Whereas the ' Ne Temere ' decree of the Bishop of Rome
sets forth ithe principles of the Roman Catholic Church, whereby
it regards as invalid certain marriages contracted before Pro-
testant ministers, although the man and woman had duly con-
sented to the marriage, and children may have been born as a
result of the union ; and
" Whereas the laws of the Province of Quebec, as inter-
preted by the jurisprudence of that Province, have recognized
and sustained the claim of the Roman Catholic Church to in-
quire into and declare void and invalid such marriages on no
other grounds than the rule of their church set forth in the ' Ne
Temere ' decree ; and
" Whereas such annulment of marriages is not only the
usurpation by a religious organization of power which should
belong only to the State, and be under its complete and exclu-
sive control, but is also a very serious and dangerous blow at
the sanctity of the marriage -tie and the purity and unity of the
home, which should be'proteoted by the State from any religious
organization ; therefore,
" llesolved, — That the Congregational Union of Canada
solemnly and emphatically protest against the granting to repre-
sentatives of any religions body rights in regard to the solemni-

zation of the marriage not granted to proper representatives of
all other religious bodies, and particularly against the annul-
ment on any grounds whatever by a religious body of a marriage
entered into in good faith, or the annulment by civil courts of
any such marriage on the ground of the rules of any religious
organization; and, further,
''Resolved, — That the Executive Committee of the Union
be instructed to seek co-operation with other religious bodies in
making this protest effectual by the means which may be found
best in order that the present situation in Quebec may be
changed and the sanctity of the home and the rights of all re-
ligious bodies may be properly recognized and protected."
It was agreed to postpone the discussion of the resolution
till Saturday morning.
The Benediction having been pronounced by the Chairman
the meeting adjourned.
Subsequently after the luncheon, and while the members of
the Union were still at the table, Mr. Abram Shaw, a member
of the delegation from the Montreal Conference, spoke briefly,
expressing his cordial agreement with the utterances of Dr.
Ryckman and the Rev. Mr. Sellery at the morning session.
F. J. Day,

Associations and report at the next meeting of the Union ; that

The Business Committee was instructed to prepare the fol-

and family in the bereavement which they have sustained
through the death of Mr. Charles Cushing; a similar resolu-
tion (to be forwarded to Mrs. A. H. Hillis and family, expres-
sive of sympathy with ,them in the loss which they have sus-

THE CONGREGATIONAL UNION OF CANADA. 37
" That the question of a basis of Union with the other de-
nominational societies be again referred to the Executive for
consideration and to report."
The report was unanimously adopted.
The following resolution on peace and arbitration was pre-
sented by Dr. Schofield:
" That this Union desires to put on record its great satis-
faction that a treaty of arbitration has been agreed upon by
Sir Edward Grey and PresideiLt Taft, representing their re-
spective Governments, looking to the submission of all questions
which may arise between Great Britain and the United States
to a Board of Arbitration, with mutual agreement to abide by
the decision of such Board.
" We believe that the effect of such a treaty will be far-
reaching, that it will do much for the extension of arbitration
as a method of settling international differences and help in the
ultimate realization of a permanent and universal peace. A
century of peace between Canada and the United States has
demonstrated that war with its terrible wastes is unnecessary
between Christian nations.
" We, therefore, urge all our churches and people to use
. their influence for ithe promotion of peace and good-will among
the nations, and to discourage the spirit of national jealousy
and hate."
A discussion followed in which the following members par-
ticipated: Rev. J. W. Pedley, Mr. H. O'Hara, Revs. D. Mc-
intosh and Dr. Warriner. Further debate on the motion was
postponed till Monday morning.
The Rev. Dr. Warriner presented the report of the Commit-
tee on Church Union as follows:
" Your Committee begs to report that it has not had occa-
sion to take any further steps in connection with the Union
negotiations. The tentative vote taken a year ago furnished as
adequate a criterion of the general feeling amongst our
churches as could very w^ell be secured, and brought us fully in
line with, if not in advance of, the steps taken in the other
churches. We have watched with interesft the developments in
these churches and have noted with pleasure the folloAving
facts :
" (1) In regard to the Presbyterian Church. — At the Geri-
38 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
eral Assembly of 1910, out of a total of 253 votes, 180 were in
favor of the Basis of Union. Since (then the Presbyteries of the
Church have taken action, with the result that out of 68 Pres-
byteries 54 have voted in favor of Union, and out of a total vote
of 1,356 votes cast in (these Presbyteries, 916 were on the
affirmative side.
" (2) In regard to the Methodist Church. — ^At the General
Conference held in 1910, out of a total of 255 votes which were
cast, 220 were in favor of the basis. At the presenit time the
various Annual Conferences are dealing with the question and,
judging from the reports so far received, this more general ex-
pression of opinion will be a decided ratification of tfhat mani-
fested in the General Conference vote.
" According to (the wish of the Union a sub-committee, con-
sisting of the Eevs. J. T. Daley, F. J. Day, W. T. Gunn and
Messrs. G. H. Wilson, C. Gushing and Judge Leet, was ap-
pointed to keep watch over the legal aspects of negotiation, but
the Committee does not feel that the time has come to make
any definite report.
" In conclusion your Committee would recommend the con-
tinuance of the Committee on Union, and that the ^Nomination
Committee be instructed to include this in its list of nomina-
tions."
The report was adopted on motion by Dr. Warriner, sec-
onded by Mr. O'Hara.
The " 'Ne Temere " decree resolution brought forward on
Friday, and amendments suggested by the Business Committee,
were discussed, those taking part being Revs. G. Ellery Read,
H. I. Horsey, Dr. Cook, J. W. Pedley, and Messrs. Henry
O'Hara, S. Lebourveau, R. McLachlan and F. Sanders.
The amendment suggested was put and lost and the original
resolution adoptted.
The following Tesolution was received from the Canada Con-
gregational Women's Board of Missions :
" Resolved, — That the women of the Congregational
Board of Missions place on record their strong denunciation
of the attempt recently made through the papal decree, ' Ne
Temere,' to undermine the family life and ties in our
Dominion; believing as we do that a pure family life is both
the foundation and safeguard of any State and country, we
THE CONGREGATIONAL UNION OF CANADA. 39
would oppose by every available means at our disposal any
attempt of the Roman Church to give effect ito this decree ; and
further
" Resolved, — 'That this resolution be read by the representa-
tive of the Women's Board at the forthcoming meetings of ithe
Congregational Union at Kingston; thus pledging the v^omen.
cf our churches to hearty co-operation in any plan decided upon
by said meeting."
The Finance Committee reported re delegaites' expenses that
a cut of $5.00 would be made.
Mr. Thomas Moodie was appointed Auditor of the Union
accounts for the ensuing year.
The Union adjourned.
SUNDAY EVENmG, JUNE 11th, 1911.
The service was conducted by Rev. E. LeRoy Rice, B.A.,
pastor of the church, the Rev. F. J. Day, M.A., assisting in the
opening exercises. The annual sermon was preached by the
Rev. J. W. Pedley, B.A., of Toronto.
The communion service was conducted by (the Rev. E.
LeRoy Rice, assisted by Deacons Veal, Gilmore, Scott and
Hendry. Messrs. Henry O'Hara and Greorge Mills led in
prayer, and an address was given by the Rev. Harold I. Horsey,
of Ottawa.
F. J. Day,
Chairman.
MONDAY MORNING, JUNE 12th, 1911.
The session commenced at 9 a.m. with prayer service, con-
ducted by the Rev. Harold I. Horsey, of Ottawa.
The business of the Union was resumed at 10 o'clock, the
Chairman presiding. The minutes of the previous two days'
proceedings were read and confirmed, with one alteration re
" Ne Temere " decree.
The Business Committee, through Dr. Cook, reported on
the order of the business for the day, which report was adopted.
The Membership Committee reported through fthe Rev.
40 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
W. E. Gilroy regarding request for transfer, and recommended
that the Rev, E. H. Peatfield be granted a letter of transfer to
the Congregational Conference of IS^orth Dakota ; that the Rev.
Moulding Baker, of Winnipeg, and the Rev. P. C. L. Harris,
of Toronto, be allowed to retain membership in the Union as
requested. The Committee also recommended that the General
Secretary revise the list of members and prepare a copy for in-
sertion in fthe Year Book.
The report was adopted.
On the motion of Rev. J. T. Daley the matter of member-
ship in the Union was referred to the Executive Committee, so
that something might be done in ithe course of the year, the
General Secretary not having power to strike off any names
without consulting the Executive. This was seconded by the
Rev. W. E. Gilroy and carried.
A discussion regarding members of the Union followed, and
their membership in any local Congregational Church.
A communication was read from the pastor of Zion Con-
gregational Church, Montreal (Rev. F. J. Day), inviting the
Union to meet in Zion Church next year. On motion of Rev.
W. T. Gunn, seconded by Rev. J. W. Pedley, the invitation was
accepted.
On behalf of the Business Committee the Rev. Dr. Cook
moved thait the peace resolution be amended by inserting the
following after the sentence ending " War with its terrible
waste is unnecessary between Christian nations " :
" We repudiate the suggestion made sometimes in high
places that this rude and barbaric insititution is necessary for
the maintenance and development of courage and kindred quali-
ties, and regard it as a coarse and brutal weapon, the use of
which can be justified only when the appeal to reason and jus-
tice has failed. We appeal to our churches and, through them,
to the Christian public to use their influence to check the spirit
of militarism in this country and strengthen by all the means
in their power the sentiment in favor of universal peace and in-
ternational arbitration."
This was seconded by Dr. Schofield and carried.
The following resolution re the late Mr. Charles Gushing
was presented by the Rev. Dr. Cook, seconded by Mr. William
Copp, and carried :
THE CONGREOATIONAI. UNION OF CANADA. 41
" Resolved, — That this Congregational Union of Canada
meeting in Kingston, Ont., June, 1911, would express its keen
sense of the loss which it has sustained by the death of Mr.
Charles Cushing, who was for many years one of its most active
and enthusiastic members, and was at one time its Chairman.
Mr. Cushing freely identified himself with every good work in
connection with our denominational life, and every department
will miss his hearty and loyal support. His spirit of sacrifice,
courage and optimism had much to do with the advancing of
our Home Mission work. We shall miss his cheery, kindly
presence and his generous and hearty suppont of every Con-
gregational scheme. We desire to commend the members of
the bereaved family to the care of the God of all comfort, and
to convey to them the sympathy of the Union."
Reports of Standing Committees were given:
Owing to the Rev. E. H. Tippett's removal no formal report
was given of work among the Sunday School and Young Peo-
ple's Societies. The Rev. H. I. Horsey had taken charge for
the Union meeting.
The Temperance Committee report was read and moved by
the Rev. H. I. Horsey for the Rev. E. D. Silcox. Rev. H. D.
Whiitmore seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously.
Resolution re Tempekance.
It is with pleasure that your Committee has watched the
growth of temperance sentiment throughout our Dominion dur-
ing the past year. We do not undervalue the work done in
bringing aboiut improved conditions in temperance reform in
other years, but we are warranted in saying that the year passed
has been one of unprecedented growth, not only in our own
land, but in others as well, noticeably in the United States and
the Old Country. ISTot only has the Christian Church aroused
itself to wage battle against the liquor traffic, but hard-headed
business men have entered the arena, and with us are doing
batttle against the iniquitous traffic in the souls and bodies of
men, and are seeking to bring about, and are bringing about
reforms that cannot be other than gratifying, and occasions
thanksgiving to God.
In view of these facts your Committee desire to recommend
42 CONGBEGATIONAL YEAK BOOK.
that this Union reaffirm the position "that we have taken for
years gone by. We have a growing conviction that this question
regarding the liquor traffic will never be settled until it is settled
aright.
While we express our determination to do all in our power
to furthei* the interests of Local Option all up and down our
Dominion, we also are free to say that we are not satisfied with
Local Option — it is only a half measure, but it is the best the
Government has seen fit to allow us to make use of. What we
have asked for and continue to ask for is Total Prohibition —
nothing else will satisfy us, because nothing short of this will
meet the demands of the times. We must remove the cause.
We must stop the manufacture and sale absolutely. We also
desire to reaffirm our confidence and approval of the splendid
work being done in ithe interests of temperance reform by the
aggressive policy of the Dominion Alliance, and would express
our approval of its methods in educating the people as to their
duty in suppressing the traffic in strong drink. We also com-
mend the work being done by the Anti-Alcoholic League of
Quebec. In conclusion we would urge upon all our Churches
from ithe Atlantic to the Pacific to continue their efforts in advo-
cating the principles of Prohibition, and seek to secure legisla-
tive enactment in furtherance of those principles.
The report of the Committee on Moral and Social Reform
Council of Canada was read and, moved by the Rev. J. T.
Tucker for Dr. C. J. Copp, irt was seconded by Rev. D. C.
Mcintosh and adopted.
MONDAY EVENmG, JUNE 12th, 1911.
The Young People's Rally was held at 8 o'clock, the Chair-
man of the Union, the Rev. F. J, Day, presiding. The hymn
" All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name " was sung by the congre-
gation, the Scripture from Eph. vi. was read by the Rev. R. W.
Carr and prayer offered by the Rev. J. T. Tucker. The musical
service included a solo by Mrs. James Small, and an anthem,
" My Faith Looks up to Thee," by the choir.
Rev. H. I. Horsey briefly spoke on the proposed Y. P. work
during nexi year and introduced the Rev. A. G. Sleep, who gave
an address on " Influence: Its Weight and Worth."
Rev. W. T. Gunn gave a resume of the meetings.

Resolutions of thanks were proposed by Dr. Ck)ok .and
carried by acclamation:
(1) Resolved, That we congratulate our Chairman that by
his wise and tactful guidance our business has been transacted
quickly and peacefully, and we tender him our sincere thanks
for his able address.
(2) That our thanks be given to the Rev. J. T. Daley for

(3) That we tender our hearty thanks to B. W. Robertson,
Esq., for our delightful sail through the Thousand Islands,
and express our sympathy with him in his sickness and pray
for his restoration to health.
(4) That we express our gratitude to tbe people of Kings-
ton, especially to the members of other denominations who have
so graciously welcomed us to their homes and made our stay
here so delightful; to Mayor Graham for his cordial welcome
and ito the boys " with a smile," who conducted us to our homes.
Also to the pastors and officers of our three churches, and par-
ticularly to Prof. Greaves, and Mr. George Mills for their un-
tiring efforts in our behalf. Also to the ladies for the excel-
lent and bountiful provision they have made of things delight-
ful ito the palate, and the gracious way in which they served
them; to the choir, organist and soloists, whose sweet music
has added so much to the interest and value of our services; to
the Press for full and good reports of our meetings, and to all
who have contributed to our welfare during our sitay in this
ancient and beautiful City.
T!he following resolution in connection with the Coronation
of our King was also presented and enthusiastically endorsed : —
Resolved, " That the Congregational Union of Canada con-
gratularte our Sovereign, King George the Eifth, on the aus-
picious opening of his reign and his approaching Coronation.
The Union expresses its hearty loyalty to him and prays that
with his Royal Consort, the beloved Queen Mary, he may have
a long and happy reign over a peaceful and prosperous Em-
♦pire."
On the motion of Rev. J. T. Daley the minutes of Monday's
sessions were taken as read.
The Benediction was pronounced by the Chainnan, after
the singing of the l^ational Anthem in honor of the King's
Coronation.
44 CONGKEGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
kepoet of the executive of the congkega-
tio:nal u:^ion of Canada for the year
1910-1911.
Your Executive would express their pleasure in once more
meeting in Kingston and in the present happy prospects of our
churches in Kingston, whose unanimous invitation to meet with
them we were glad to be able to accept.
The Executive has met as a whole once each quarter during
the year, and in addiition to general business has given attention
to every pastorless church and any in difficulties, at each meet-
ing. Your officers have also been in constant touch with one
--another both personally and by correspondence. The effect of
■ tihis oversight has been manifest in shorter vacancies, prompt
cheer and help to churches needing it and in a general stronger
tone to our work both local and denominational.
Of the matters entrusted to your Executive by the last Union
■we beg leave to report as follows :
The table showing in compact form the giving of the churches
to our five funds was duly prepared and printed in the Con-
-gregationalist in September.
The notice of motion that the date of the Union meetings be
changed from June to October, referred to the Executive, was
discussed and we recommend that no change be made.
His Honor Judge Leet's letter, regarding proposed changes
in the Act of Incorporation, was considered, and after reference
to legal advice, your Executive advise that no changes are neces-
sary at the present time.
The preparation of a basis of transfer of the work of the
Societies to the Union has been in tlie hands of a special com-
mittee, the result of whose deliberations will be submitted to
you.
The Uniform Association Constitution passed by you last
year has given good satisfaction where put in operation. In the
Western Association it has not yet been adopted, but is in the
hands of their Business Committee. It will be a matter for your"
new Executive to consider whether the time has not come to
form an Association for Manitoba and Saskatchewan and one
also for Alberta. It may be lihat our boundaries will be enlarged
this year by the inclusion of the churches of our order in New-
foundland, informal suggestion to that effect having come to us.
THE CONGEEGATIONAL UNION OF CANADA. 45
Your Executive would put on record their conviction that with
a few minor changes that may yet need to be made our organiza-
tion, as a denomination, is now effective and where made use of
has shown that it is capable of as great efficiency in handling
difficult situations and imdertaking aggressive work as any
ecclesiastical organization. Yet l3iere is perhaps on this very
account a tendency to say that things are running well and
therefore to lessen attendance at our Association meetings. The
best organization will only be effective as our churches and
ministers give themselves loyally to its working out.
In this connection your Executive would bring to your atten-
tion the question of ministerial standing, which is at present
both in the Union and the Associations, and suggest that this
matter be referred to the Membership Committee for recom-
mendation to the Union.
We have pleasure in reporting that our Co-operation Com-
mittee has succeeded in consummating with similar committees
of the Presbyterian and Methodist Churches an agreement for
co-operation in Home Mission work. This will take time and
patience to make effective, but it has already opened the way to
removal of some cases of overlapping, and provides for division
of the work in new territory.
The apportionment plan. Your Executive would express
their pleasure at the growing approval and adoption of this plan
among our churches. Where used in conjunction with the
weekly offering for our denominational funds it is proving
helpful where well worked, but so far there has been a partial
failure, owing to lack of a careful every-member canvass and
also to failure to observe the special days for the various funds
and on ithose days to give an opportunity for contributions from
those not making use of the weekly envelope.
For the ensuing year 1911-12 we recommend the same
apportionment as in 1910-11, these figures being still high
enough to give room for increased generosity and not too high
for attainment.
Your Executive would also express their sense of deep loss
in the de^h last fall of Mr. Charles Cushing, B.C.L., the Chair-
man of our Union in 1908, whose influence was felt in all de-
partments of our work and whose presence and counsel we shall
greatly miss.
The programme of the Union is already in your hands.
Respectfully submitted,
W. T. GuNN, Secretary.

The Report of the Committee of Co-operation in Home Mis-
sion Work, with the Methodist and Presbyterian Churches was
read by the General Secretary. It was moved by the Rev. W. T.
Gunn, and seconded by Mr. Henry O'Hara, that the report be
received and adopted. A discussion followed.
REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE 01^ CO-OPERATION
IN HOME MISSION WORK.
Your Committee report with pleasure the completion of an
a;greement for co-operation in Home Mission work with similar
co^mmittees of the Presbyterian and Methodist Churches.
It was hoped at first that the agreement might include also
the Baptist churches and the Church of England in Canada, but
this was not at this time found possible.
The agreement is already in operation in Alberta especially,
and to some extent in British Columbia, and the necessary com-
mittees have been appointed also in Saskatchewan. Several
eases in Eastern Canada of overlapping have also been referred
to the General Committee and are under consideration. We are
especially grateful that it p,rovides duly authorized plans for the
removal of overlapping where the people desire it and for the
prospect of a division of territory in new districts.
We recommend that the agreement be printed in the Year
Book ; that the various Associations be asked to appoint the com-
mittees necessary, and that the Union Committee be continued
with such change of name as your Nomination Committee may
deem wise.
Respectfully submitted,
W. T. Gunn.
Convener.
THE CONGREGATIONAL UNION OF CANADA. 51
CO-OPEEATION IN HOME MISSION WORK.
The Joint Committee on Co-operation in Home Mission
Work, duly constituted under tlie auithority of the Supreme
Courts of the Presbyterian, Methodist, and Congregational
Churches, having carefully considered the whole situation in
the interests of the Kingdom of God in Canada, beg to submit
"the result of their deliberations to the prayerful and sympathetic
consideration of the Churches concerned, and to recommend the
cordial adoption of ilihe following plan of co-operation, and the
immediate appointment by the local authorities of the various
churches, of the committees necessary to render it effective.
Cases of overlapping, in localities where the organization
called for in this plan of co-operation does not really exist and
cannot be immediately created, may be referred for adjudication
to this General Committee.
The Commiittee record their gratification with the progress
already made along the lines laid down in the following plan
by representatives of the Presbyterian and Methodist Churches
in the Province of British Columbia, and to a much fuller
extent in the Province of Alberta.
The Committee are profoundly thankful for the spirit of
unity that has characterized their deliberations, and has made
it possible for them to agree unanimously upon a plan of co-
operating churches, in undertaking their share of the stupendous
loyal working out of this plan will do much to put a stop to un-
seemly rivalry, and to increase the effectiveness of the co -
operating Churches, in undertaking their share of the stupen-
dous task of claiming and holding Canada for Christ.
HISTORICAL SKETCH OF THE MOVEMENT FOR
CO-OPERATION.
In March, 1908, the House Mission Committee of the
Presbyterian Church in Canada recommended the General
Assembly to appoint a committee to act with similar commit-
tees of other churches, for the purpose of considering co-opera-
tion in Home Mission Work, the work of this Joint Committee
to be : —
1. To define the policy to be followed in regard to comity
and co-operation.
52 CONGREGATIONAL YEAE BOOK.
2. To adjudicate upon special cases which may be referred
to them, where fields may be re-arranged to preverut overlap-
ping.
Knowledge of the action taken by the Presbyterian Church
was, by the Convener of their committee, communicated ito the
authorities of the Anglican, Baptist, Congregational, and
Methodist Churches. In response to this communication, the
Congregational Church, in 1908, and the Methodist Church, at
their Quadrennial Conference in 1910, appointed similar com-
mittees, assigning to tihem the same duty that had been assigned
to ithe commitee of the Presbyterian Church. The committee
appointed were as follows :—
Presbyterian. — Dr. McLaren, Convener ; Dr. Somerville,
Dr. Gilray and Dr. ISTeil, Ministers ; Messrs. A. S. Grant, J. A.
Paterson, W. K. George and Lt.-Col. McCrae, with Messrs.
Alexander Laird, M. Parkinson, Thos. Findlay and Lt.-Col.
Davidson as alternates.
Methodist. — Eev. Dr. Carman, Rev. Dr. Chown, Rev. Jas.
Allen, Rev. Dr. Woodsworth, Rev. Dr. Heartz and Rev. Dr.
Ryckman, and Mr. II. H. Fudger, Hon. Justice Maclaren, Mr.
I^. W. Rowell.
Congregational. — Rev. W. T. Gunn, Rev. J. K. Unsworjth,
Rev. J. W. Pedley, Rev. J. L. Gordon, and Messrs. Geo. H.
Wilson and H. O'Hara.
The Secretary of the Missionary Society of the Church of
England in Canada, in reply to Ifhe communication sent to him,
stated thaft, in the Church of England in Canada, the work in
each Diocese is entirely under the control of the Bishop of the
Diocese. This Joint Committee, therefore, decided to forward
to each Bishop of the Church of England a copy of the plan of
co-operation agreed upon, and to extend to him a very cordial
invitation to participate with the Joint Committee in his
Diocese in this co-operation.
The Home Mission Board of the Baptist Convention of
Ontario and Quebec appointed a Committee to meet with the
Committees of the Sister Churches ; but the members of that
committee, after a lengthened consideration of the scope of the
proposed co-operation, stated frankly that, while their policy has
always bejen to discourage the opening of new fields unless there
was a reasonable prospect of the fields early becoming self-sup-
THE CONGEEGATIO-\AL UNION OF CANADA. 53
.porting, they could not consisten/tlj with their principles enter
into any scheme of co-operation except among the non-English
speaking settlers.
Necessity foe Co-opeeation.
This Joint Committee, representing the Presbyterian,
Methodist, and Congregational Churches, hereby record their
conviction that, while there is not so much overlapping in the
Home Mission field on ithe part of their respective churches as
many people suppose, l^ere are yet more cases of the unneces-
sary multiplication of religious effort than are creditable either
to the Christian spiriit or to the good judgment of the churches
concerned.
Oeganization.
In order to secure the co-operation desired, they recom-
mend : —
I. That committees on co-operation, empowered to deal with
the matters hereafter set forth and designated '' Co-operajting
Committees," be appointed in the various Synods, Annual Coi^
ferences, or Associations, wherever ithis has not already been
done. These Co-operating Committees shall meet at least once
a year.
II. That these Co-operating Committees define the local
districits and appoint local committees in the various districts of
the Synod, Conference, or Association, Home Mission Superin-
tendents, Chairmen of districts, Conveners of Presbyteries, and
officers of like rank in the Congregational Church to be ex
officio members of these local committees.
III. That the principles of co-operation be applied:
1. In the adjustment of overlapping in existing fields.
2. In the arranging of religious work in absolutely new dis-
tricts.
3. In the work to be done amongst the foreign nationalities.
Oiveelapping in Existing Eields.
IV. Tha/t the local committee look carefully into all the cir-
cumstances in any locality in which, in their judgment, or as
instructed by the Co-operating Committee, or by this
54 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
Central Committee, or at the request of the Synod,
Conference, or Association, co-operation ought to be at-
tempted, with a view of recommending to the co-operating
committees that the locality in queaition be left in the care of one
of the co-operating churches ; the results of their investigations
and deliberaitions to be reported both to the Co-operating Com-
mittee, and to this General Committee, on printed forms that
will be provided for this purpose. No new work shall be under-
taken in an existing field by any of the co-operating denomina-
tions other than those already in the field, without approval of
the local committee. By " field " is undersitood the territory
in the charge of a single missionary or minister.
V. That in recommending to which of the co-operating
Churciles the task of ministering to any particular field shall
be entrusted Local Committees give due weight to the follow-
ing considera'tions : Priority of occupation of the field; the
relative number of members and adherents belonging to the
different denominations; the relative amounts contributed by
the people of the different denominations for the support of 'the
ordinances among themselves; and the readiness of the respec-
4iive denominations to minister to the field promptly and
effectively.
In any case in wliich a distinct majority of all the people
express a preference for the ministrations of a particular
church, that preference shall have special consideration, even
though the church selected should not be the strongest in ofther
respects.
It s'ball be comjpetent for lany congregation of the Congrega-
tional and Presbyterian Churclies, and for a Quarterly Ofiicial
Board of the Methodist Church, to appoint not more than three
persons to state their case before a Local Committee, a Co-oper-
ating Commititee, or this General Committee. This refers to
fields where a charge may be contemplated.
VI. That while seeking to unify the people of each com-
munity dealt with in a local cburch under one of the co-operat-
ing denominations, the following principles be recognized and
acted upon:
1. Connection with such Church need not imply abandon-
ment of denominajtional preferences and afiiliations.
THE CONGEEGATIONAL UNION OF CANADA. 55
2. It is supposed that members of the local affiliating
churches will become full members of the denomination to
whose ministration the field is left ; but members who prefer to
retain their own denominational conneation, either by enrol-
ment in an adjoining congregation, or by the depositing of t^heir
certificates with the proper denominational authorities, shall,
as far as possible, enjoy all the rights and privileges of mem-
bership in the local church. Such persons shall be known as
associaite members of the congregation concerned.
3. These associate members shall be expected to bear their
fair share of the local expenses of the congregation they are
associated with ; but they shall be permitted, if they desire to do
so, to devote itheir contributions for missionary and other con-
nexional funds to their own denominations.
Note. — Wherever, in the carrying out of this plan of co-
operation, any existing church property may not be necessary
for the purposes of the united congregation, such property can
only be disposed of according to the regulations of the denomin-
ation in whose name it is held ; and the tproper denominational
court must determine the purpose to which the proceeds shall
be applied. ,
Originating Work in the Territory.
VII. That the Co-operating Committees at their Annual
Meetings consider rt;he plans proposed by the several denomina-
tions for work in new territory for the ensuing year, as reported
by their Home Mission Superintendents. They shall also re-
view such new work as may have been initiated by the Local
Committees, or Missionary Superintendents, since the last
meeiting.
1. When any one of the Co-operating Churches is ready to
undertake work in a new unoccupied field, the proposal shall
be submitted by the Superintendent of Missions of the Church
undertaking the work to the Local Committee of the district
in which the field lies, with full information regarding the
field, including the numerical strength of the several Protestant
denominations in the community, and the location and distance
of adjacent missions. The Local Committee thus consulted
shall, without delay, send reply to the Superintendent, mailing
•56 CONGKEGATIONAL YEAK BOOK.
also a copy of that reply to the Secretary of the Co-operating
Committee having jurisdiction.
2. The Home Mission Superintendents of the respective
denominations shall, as far as possible, consult with one another
before undertaking work in any unoccupied territory.
3. In any case, however, in which such consultation would
unnecessarily delay ministration to the needs of a nev^ com-
munity, the initiation of work by any denomination may be
undertaken as at present ; the initiation of such work, along
with full information regarding the field as provided above, to
be reported immediaitely to t'he Chairman of the nearest Local
Committee, and to be subject to the provision contained in the
following paragraph:
4. Work so initiated after the 1st of April, 1911, shall be
subject to the review of ithe Co-operating Committee; and in
all such cases priority of occupation shall have no weight in
determining the particular denomination to which the field
should be assigned.
: : 5. Regard should be had to the disadvantage under which
any of the denominations may be placed in puitting a stop to
overlapping in existing fields, and also to the number contri-
buted by such denomination to the sister denominations in
fields where its membership is not sufficiently numerous to
justify a separaite church, by assigning to that denomination in
certain oases that may be agreed upon, a specified district as its
sphere of labor.
Work Amongst the Xon-English Speaking Races.
VIII. That, in the Avork among the non-English speaking
part of our population, certain districts or nationalities be
assigned ito the different denominations ; but that, if preferred,
in any locality, there be a combination of resources for the
prosecution of a united work.
Note. — The following is a general statement of the nation-
alities of foreign speech amongst whom the co-operating denom-
inations are aft present carrying on the work:
Presbyterian. — Ruthenians, Hungarians, Finns, Bohemians,
Bulgarians and Italians. The Foreign Mission Committee has
charge of work among Jews, Chinese and Indians.
THE CONQREGATIONAl, UNION OF CANADA. 57
Methodist— Under the Home Department, work among
Austrians, Italians, Scandinavians, Poles and Syrians. Under
tfhe Foreign Department, in Canada, among Indians, Japanese
and Chinese.
Congregational. — Swedish, German and Welsh.
Revision.
IX. Any of /the Co-operating Churches may, at any meet-
ing of a Co-operating Committee, give notice through its Mis-
sionary Superintendent of its desire for a reconsideration of
the decision arrived at in regard to any field or district. Such
reconsideration shall be given at fthe next meeting of the Com-
mittee, or at a special meeting which may be called at the re-
quest of any three members of the Committee.
X. Modifications of the plan of co-operation above set fonth
may be adopted by this General Committee from time to time as
experience may prove to be desirable. Local and Co-operating
Committees are invited to submit to this Committee such modi-
fications as they consider necessary.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE OF THE UIsTION" OF
REPRESEI^TATIVES O^ THE MORAL AND
SOCIAL REFORM COUNCIL OF CANADA.
Your Committee beg leave to report that they have co-oper-
ated with the Moral and Social Reform Council of Canada,
being represented at the annual meeting of the said Council,
held September 23rd, 1911, and on its Executive Committee
in various sessions.
Gambling.
Your committee regret that the Parliament of Canada last
year reaffirmed its sanction of the professional betting on the
race course.
58 CONGKEGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
The attempt to lessen the evils of race track gambling by
limiting the meets to two in number, of seven days each, or an
aggregate of fourteen days in the year, is overcome by allow-
ing a second meeting of seven days on the same track immedi-
ately following the first, the second being held, however, under
auspices diiferent from those under which the first was held.
By this method it will be seen that continuous racing can be
very readily carried on even upon the same track. The same
end is reached by increasing the number of tracks.
The Court of Appeal of Orutario has held that the law does
not prohibit, as was intended, the publication by newspapers
and the transmission by telephone and telegrajDh companies of
racing information.
These facts indicate that the time is not far distant when
another attempt will have to be made to induce Parliament to
make our gambling law consistent with itself.
Social Science.
The Executive of the Council has given due consideration
to the matter of a Reading Course in Social Science, and has
prepared such a course, which we would urge upon those con-
cerned in the welfare of our country.
(The list of books will be supplied on request.)
Indian Affairs.
The Executive of the Council is urging upon Parliament a
series of reforms calcularted to improve the moral and intellec-
tual standing of the native tribes of our land.
Personal, and Social Purity.
An endeavor is being made to secure better enforcement of
the criminal law affecting social vice in all its bearings.
Information is being disseminated warning those in peril
and making more general the knowledge of the consequence of
the violation of the laws of sex.
There is a fair prospect at the present time that on the
initiative of the Government a number of important amend-
ments to the Criminal Code in ithe interests of purity and for
THE CONGKEGATIONAL UNION OF CANADA. 59
•the suppression of vice will be enacted before the present session
of Parliament concludes.
The placing of a number of books upon the proscribed list
in the Department of Customs means more than we can esti-
mate in removing (the most prolific source of contamination in
moral depravity. The enactment of more restrictive legisla-
tion in regard to moving picture shows is also being urged with
the same end in view.
Many other matters are engaging the attention of ihe
Council, such as Law Enforcement, Child Labor, Truancy,
Women Wage Earners, Political Purity, etc., and we feel the
work of the Council is one of the most important in our national
upbuilding.
Respecttfully submitted.
Rev. H. I. Horsey verbally reported on the work of the
Sabbath Observance Committee.
'. Rev. H. D. Whitmore moved that the pamphlet " Four
, Years of Progress " be revised by the General Secretary so as
: to include figures for 1911 and that copies be distributed among
the churches. This was seconded by Mr. F. Sanders and car-
ried.
Rev. J. T. Daley spoke on the Apportionment Plan, and
moved that the matter be considered by the Union Executive
and a report be made next year. Seconded by the Rev. H. D.
Whitmore and carried.
'The Chairman introduced a delegation from the Presby-
terian General Assembly in Ottawa, consisting of Rev. Drs.
McTavish and McGillivray, whose greetings were acknowledged
by the Rev. F. J. Day.
The following resolutions of sympathy were passed : —
" Resolved, — That the Congregational Union of Canada ex-
press its sympathy with the Rev. A. E. Cooke, of Speedside,
and his family in his sickness, and its hope for a speedy
recovery of his health and the blessing of God on him and his
work."
" The Union would place on record its regreit because of
the death of the Rev. A. H. Hills of the Elcho Congregational
Church. The distressing circumstances connected with his
sudden death make his demise most regrettable. We desire to

assure the bereaved family that they have the sympathy of every
member of this Congregational Union and we heartily pray
that they may be sustained in their heavy loss by the consolation
of the Spirit of that Grod who is ' the husband of the widow and
the father of the fatherless.' "
Rev. J. T. Daley moved that the Chairman of the Union or
the General Secretary be authorized to represent the Union to
convey greetings at any denominational conferences and as
occasion might require. This was seconded by the Rev. D. C.
Mcintosh and carried.

ings closed at 11.20, the Chairman pronouncing the Benedic-
tion.

TIIF. CONGUEOATIONAI, UNION OF CANADA. Gl
THE SPIRITUAL RENAISSANCE.
By Rev. Frank J. Day, M.A., B.D.
Chairman's Annual Address.
That period in the history of Europe popularly known as
" The Renaissance " presents in retrospect many interesting
and suggestive features. Its far-reaching effects in the de-
velopment of the human race would be difficult to estimate, for
in the interpretation and full understanding of the period we
must go far beyond the sense in which we regard it simply as a
revival of learning. It may be (true that the real quality of the
Renaissance was intellectual, but in its widest sense it signifies
the whole process of transition from the Middle Ages to the
Modern World with all that is involved in so profound and
revolutionary a movement. Eor ithe sphere of its effects we
must therefore look far beyond the college and cloister, and for
the agents of its operations we must not confine our attention to
the professor or the priest. In fact all the forces operative in
human development were at work here. The best were mar-
shalled by and under the control of the most intellectual and
spiritual men of the time, who were possessed of open minds
and broad vision, so "that the movement was happily saved from
being merely academic and provincial, and widened out irnto
the most thoroughly human and universal. From its beginning
in Italy it moved outwards, and from the realm of intellect
it passed into the sphere of practical affairs.
And yet it is not itrue that this interpretation of the period
is a comparatively modern viewpoint. Half a century ago the
Renaissance was understood to signify a well-defined period
towards the close of the 14th century, when " the world sud-
denly awoke to the beauty of ithe arts of Greece and Rome ; to
the charm of their gayer life, and the splendor of their intel-
lect." But in process of time a better understanding has been
reached, and the constant tendency (to push the date back is in
itself significant of the newer method of interpretation of
history which aims to discover to the human mind the streams
of influences which have been flowing through (the ages,' and to
reveal the fact that light does not come in a sudden blaze of
62 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
glory, but from the glimmerings of morn to the full promise
of the noontide sun, a period not yet reached by man, although
we have gone well on into the morning. A remembrance of ithis
fact, i.e., that the forces of the Renaissance were at work long
before the world realized them will help us to understand the
viewpoint we desire to reach in this address.
To quote then from a discriminaiting student of this period :
" The history of the Renaissance is not the history of arts or
of sciences or of literature or even of nations. It is the history
of 'the attainment of self-conscious freedom by the human spirit
manifested in the European races." Without dou.bt this is true,
and yet how indirectly was it attained. This desire for self-
conscious freedom was not the rallying cry of any apositle of
the movement. It was not inscribed on banners, nor blazoned
forth on placards, nor cried aloud in the streets. Almost un-
consciously men were reaching out towards it. Students of
literature, situdents of philosophy, students of theology, men of
science, jurists, toilers in the industrial world, inventors, dis-
coverers, were all advancing to the realization of this, the
greatest boon to development and progress. Yet were they
quietly led by the Spirit of God, and almost unconsciously did
they attain the degree of intellectual liberty which we now re-
gard as characteristic of their times. Each man doubtless went
down to the grave dissatisfied, seeing 'the goal not yet attained,
and yet the world knows that every individual who was awake to
the inner meaning of life, marterial, intellectual, or spiritual,
made his contribution to the wellbeing of the whole, and by so
much helped to advance the world towards-^ its goal.
Dante has been called " the morning star of the Renais-
sance," and in his life, especially in his immortal work, he re-
vealed the significant revolt of man from slavish submission to
the guidance of others in religious matters. And possibly not
the least significant incident of his career was the fact that he
wrote his greait poem first in Latin, and then afterwards in the
language of the people. Surely this was in response to the call
of the times for enlightenment, and the passionate appeal of
the people, coming ito his sensitive ears, for the opening to them
of the realm of intellectual riches. And Giotto, breaking the
tra^mmels of the past in the sphere of art, was reaching out to a
greater freedom. I count that passage in Mrs. Browning's
THE COKGEEGATIONAI, UNION OF CANADA. 63
" Casa Guidi Windows " a most illuminative picture of the
awakening soul of the artist and his welcome by the men of
vision of his times. It describes the discovery of Giotto by
Cimabue, even when the former was but a shepherd lad. The
latter knew him —
"as gode know gods, and carried home
To paint the things he had painted with a deep
And fuller insight. .."
And as the poetess, refleciting on the scene, says with surely
a true insight:
"I hold too
That Cimaibue smiled uipon the lad
At the first stroke that passed what he could do,
Or else his Virgin's smile had never had
S'uch sweetnesiSi in't. All great men who foreknew
Their heirs in art, for art's sake have been glad."
And so the souls of the prophets grew calm and confident.
They were seeing the dawn of a new age, and although many
eyes were blinded, for them there was a calm translation in the
spirit of the Nunc Dimittis — " Lord, now lettest thou thy ser-
vant depart in peace; according to thy word. For mine eyes
have seen thy salvation."
And even the material forces of the times became indirectly
the instruments of the Spirit of progress. The descent of
Philip the Fair of France on Italy was primarily to gratify a
purely personal ambition, and yet thereby the first blow was
struck at the temporal power of the Pope. It was only a crafty
design of the same monarch to strengthen himself in his position
of influence wTiich led him to give a voice in the ITational
Assembly of France to " The 'third estate," the common folk or
citizens. Yet thereby was made a splendid contribution to the
cause of freedom. The great schism with its rival popes did
more than any single event of the times to weaken tlie power of
the Papacy over (the minds of men, and the so-called " Babylon-
ian captivity " became a powerful factor in the progress of
freedom. Events so remote from each other as the revolt of
the Flemish burghers, the rebellion of the Swiss and the battle
of Bannockburn were indicative of the rising forces of freedom.
When ithe laurel wreath was placed on the head of Petrarch at
G4 CONGEEQATIONAL YEAK BOOK.
Rome, it was " an assertion of the age of its admiration for in-
tellectual worth," and made surely in the power of the advanc-
ing spirit of liberty. But it was more than this even. It was
significant, itoo, of the awakening in the hearts of men of a new
conception of nature, voiced alike by Dante, Boccacio, and
Petrarch. Nature was losing its taint of sin. It was no longer
the instrument of demoniacal powers, but in the trembling light,
in the morning air, in the scenes of indescribable grandeur men
found symbols of the presence of God, and were awed into
silence and worship. This generation was discovering the soul
of nature, and finding this was drawing nearer to the heart of
God.
All these and many other things were signs of the times,
read with interest and hope by .the truly prophetic spirits, but
passed unnoticed by those who were blind to the inner meaning
of outer events.
And yet even as we look upon this period and mark this
steady onward progress we are aware also of the many strange
alternations of defeat with victory for the advancing kosts of
freedom. Time and time again the ranks of democracy strug-
gling to assert themselves fell back before the power of the few.
Witness — Milan under a Duchy, Florence beneath ithe Medici,
Venice under the Council of Three. The close of the 14th
century was thus marked by the recrudescence of the powers of
tyranny. And ye^ at the same time a religious revival was mov-
ing over Europe. Some one has remarked that " perhaps men's
sufferings caused it." However this may be its progress was
evident in Germany, where Nicholas of Basel established " The
friends of God," in England, where Wycliffe translated the
Bible, and in Bohemia, where Huss asserted the spiritual inde-
pendence of the people.
To mention Huss gives us pause as we contemplate his
sublime figure in the history of the times. The Council of
Consitance was of profound significance for a united Catholic
Church, but for us in retrospect its deepest interest centres
around the figure of Huss. What tumult of conflicting emo-
tions must have flooded the soul of the man who with confidence
in (the promises of safety given to him had appeared at the
Council. Here was a man who had once been careless and in-
different, but upon wliom on his own testimony the word of the
THE CONGREGATIONAL UNION OF CANADA. 65
Cross had taken hold, '^ and penetrated him through and through
as with a mighty purifying fire." He was a reformer before
the Reformation, and his was the experience of loneliness that
comes to any herald of a new movement. The Church in its
power called tim a Judas, and took from him his priestly robes
and the symbolic cup. But Huss, with spiritual vision un-
dimmed, cried : '' I trust in the Lord, the Almighty God, for
whose name's sake I patiently bear these blasphemies. He will
not take from me the cup of Salvation, and I hope ito drink it
with Him even to-day in His Kingdom." Here was the sublime
figure of one of the victors of the age, and it mattered not that
the flames consumed his' body, the soul of Huss lived, as an ani-
maiting power in the world leading on to the brighter dawn of
the Reformation. And his case is cited as significant of many
other such, who with great and unflinching courage struggled
on to the heights of intellectual and spiritual liberty.
And equally significant of the spirit of ithe times was the
action of that band of Englishmen who waded out into the sea
before the Emperor Sigismund was allowed to land when he
was making a tour of Europe in the effort to secure the allegi-
ance of all at the 'time of the Council of Constance. Sternly
did these men demand to know whether by his visit he intended
to assert any supremacy over England, and not until he had
solemnly disavowed any such intention was he permitted to
land.
Concerning, therefore, this period of the Renaissance the
significant feature for the purpose of this address is this:
The process meant as we have seen much more than the revival
of learning. It embraced rather the whole process of the libera-
tion of humanity from the limitations of an inadequate ideal of
life, the awakening of the soul of man, the enlargement of his
vision, a widening conception of revelation, and with it a deep-
ening sense of the presence of God. And it all went on with
alternating periods of progress and retrogression, with perhaps
but little appreciable advance in one generation, but guided
always by men of sturdy independence of soul, who defied even
to the death to be placed again under the yoke of bondage.
Thus is borne out the designation of the period as the time of
" the attainment of self-conscious freedom by the human spirit
manifesting itself in the European races."
00 CONGEEGATIONAL YEAK BOOK.
But for US the deepest significance of the period is prophe»tic
and points to the possibility of greater advances along the
pathway which leads to perfect spiritual freedom. With a
"thrill of joy each generation since the Renaissance has realized
that there have been new fields to enter under the guidance of
the Spirit of Christ, and calmly reviewing the past has found
that many of the most significant features have been paralleled
in its own experience.
For us, therefore, there is the same inspiration, and the
same guiding power. As Christians we believe this most pro-
foundly no matter what our conceptions, metaphysical and theo-
logical, concerning the person and work of Christ may be. And
for the purpose which is most fully in our thought in this ad-
dress there are no more profoundly significant words than those
uttered by Christ : " If the Son shall make you free ye
shall be free indeed." To us they signify the sphere of absolute
spiritual liberty and the region through which there is un-
trammelled movement forward to the place where the soul of
man may commune with his Maker without the intervention of
any intermediary whatsoever. This sphere will be marked by
the finest possible spiritual conceptions of true religion. From
it will be eliminated all that is grossly material and purely tem-
poral. Or perhaps it would be better to say that the material
and temporal will occupy in our thought their proper place, and
will, as we understand their true meaning, become helps rather
than hindrances to the unclouded vision of the spiritual. Men
in this respect will be such as Jesus was, living in the midst of
the material, conscious of the movement of material forces,
accepting the limitations of the temporal, and yet ahvays seeing
the unseen, and ever dominated by the spiritual powers. And
such an age as this, we venture to think, will be called, from the
standpoint of future generations at least, the Spiritual Renais-
sance, the time of the revival of the spiritual instincts of the
race, the period when men have had an intensified conscious-
ness of the operation of spiritual forces in their experience, and
a growing realization of the spiritual character of life.
ISTow is it not possible that we may be living in
this period, and that we are consciously or uncon-
sciously becoming agents in the process ? Like the
earlier Renaissance, the whole period may be long. It

may be impossible .to limit it to a definitely marked out cycle
of years with a gradual beginning and a triumphant close, but
none the less may the spiritual forces be at work, the spiritual
conceptions of men be deepening, and their spiritual vision
growing clearer. Of course it is a commonplace to say the
world is advancing and that men are growing better. We all
realize this and glory in it. But in this movement what is the
predominant and powerful element ? If the real quality of the
Renaissance was intellectual, is it not possible 'that t!he real
quality of the movement in our own time may be spiritual?
I shall not stop here to discuss the relation of the intellectual
ito the spiritual, for I think we can accept the statement that the
latter is a broader and more inclusive term than the former and
sweeping in everything that comes to the soul of man through
the exercise of his intellectual powers. To say, therefore, that
the quality of this movement forward in our times is distinctly
spiritual is to recognize the all full play of all those forces which
become operative through the contact of the soul of man with
the mind and will of God,
!N^ow in our moods of pessimism we sweepingly characterize
our age as grossly material, and despair of the triumph of the
spiritual. We point to the alarming development of the plu-
tocracy, the crowds of worshippers at the altar of Mammon,
the hosts of pleasure seekers, to the lowered and lowering tastes
of fhe multitude in things literary and dramatic, and with fear
tugging at our hearts we prophesy the eclipse of the spiritual
and with it the death of the higher instincts of the race. And
yet, admitting all the lapses of man, from the glories of his
heritage, is it not true that he is reaching out with more of a
passionate desire than ever for a full understanding of and a
more perfect utilization of the spiritual forces ? Even accept-
ing this at its minimum, and looking back to the past, what fine
possibilities of ultimate attainment does a survey of the earlier
Renaissance furnish us with.
Consider for a moment some of the forces antagonistic to
the intellectual that were then overcome, not at once it is true,
not vanquished by one stroke of some mighty arm, but giving
way before the steady persistent movement of forces that were
guided by men whose hearts were brave and whose eyes were
steadily fixed on the goal of their ambition. Why, the Medici
68 Congregational yeae book.
were simply the political bosses of Florence who had risen to
power largely by reason of having amassed immense fortunes.
And it is said that in the time of the Humanists literary tastes
had so degenerated 'that " polished Latin verses, decorated with
all the skill of a poet and rhetorician, had for their subject those
things which St. Paul says it is a shame even to speak of."
And yet despite these and other appalling conditions the over-
coming power of men of faith and vision led the race on to a
truer knowledge of life.
In days of weakening faith, therefore, a survey of the past
will cause hope to spring afresh in the human heart. It has
been said that there were three stages in the history of scholar-
ship during the age of the Renaissance, i.e., passionate desire,
acquisition, and scholarship. In this age we are conscious of
•the first at least, a passionate reaching out after a fuller
knowledge of the spiritual, voiced often incoherently and
always imperfectly, and yet ever full of promise for the acqui-
sition of that which is necessary for a more perfect understand-
ing of the realms of the unseen, when man, knowing the mind of
God, shall attain his full spiritual stature.
To me the signs of the times are deeply significant. This
is an age of faith. Let us dwell thereon with triumph of soul.
It is an age of faith in God and spiritual powers. There are
no conspicuous figures in any part of the world proclaiming as
was done in the 18th century with such insistence that there is
no God. John Fiske pronounces the declaration of Lalande,
after he had swept the heavens with his telescope, tha.t " he
had found no God there,'' and the saying of an eminent psych-
ologist: " ISTo thought without phosphorus " as " the two remarks
most colossal in their silliness that ever appeared in print."
And to this the world as a whole gives an emphatic assent. It
is easier to-day than ever to believe in the unseen. The triumphs
of science have made it so. The intangible currents of air that
carry the thoughts of men with no medium of communication
that is visible to the naked eye, all bring their conviction to the
human mind of the power of the unseen. Soaring aloft on the
wings of the wind man feels less and less that his spirit is bound
to the earth and to things marked out by the span of an exis-
tence that is conscious of the material. Just as the maritime
discoveries of the 16th century broadened the vision of men,
THE CONGREGATIONAJ. UNTOIJf OF CANADA. GO
and called them out into a wider sphere, so the scientific dis-
coveries of our time are leading men on to certainty of convic-
tion concerning the power of the unseen. We count that man
a fool w'ho says he will not believe in what he cannot see. Just
as in the middle ages the figure of the cowled monk with eyes
fixed on the earth, and dulled into stupor, was replaced by the
man about whose uncovered head the winds of heaven played,
whose gaze was upward and in whose eye was the fire and expec-
tation of a newborn soul, so in our time we are emerging from
the dungeon of materialism and ascending to the heights of
spiritual vision. Standing on "the crest of the Rigi with the
setting sun lighting up all the wonderful scene below with a
heavenly glory, a young man said to me once : " This takes all
the wickedness out of a fellow." And as the race stands on the
heights of life, witli the vision of a height that is higher, the
evil will depart from his soul, for his will be the glory of trans-
figuration into the likeness of God.
Confirmation of this strong spiritual aspiration of men
comes to us from many sources.
I find it in the first place in the realm where men are stu-
dents of theology and the philosophy of religion. With the
battle for the free use of the mind in religious thought already
won the theologian of our times is awake to the fact that intel-
lectual freedom does not of itself mean spiritual liberty. The
breakinlg of dogmatic bonds does not necessarily set the soul of
man free. So one of the most advanced exponents of freedom
in theology declares : " In the past liberal Christianity has
moved far too much on the intellectual plane, and far too little
on the spiritual. "' Intellectual liberty is not an end in itself,
but it may become one of the widest and most accessible avenues
to new conceptions of spiritual truth. In the advance therefore
of the spiritual Renaissance it will not be necessary to deny or
limit the possibilities of the intellectual, but on the other hand
all the treasures of this realm will be displayed in a new light,
while at the same time the signs on the way will point onM'ards
to where the full revelation of the spiritual awaits the most
highly developed of intellectual men. And also it will be clear
that in the providence of God the way to tliis realm of the
spirit does not lie exclusively through the region of the intellec-
tual, for to quote again: ''a high degree of spiritual life is
compatible with a very meagre theology."
TO CONGEEGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
Fui'tlier confirmation comes to us also in the realm of social
service. Isl^ever was there a .time when the heart of the church
responded so fully to the cry of human suffering and the social
consciousness was so strongly developed, and with it all, with
the magnificent utilization of material resources we are
conscious that the thoughts of the leaders are ever turned to
the inner meaning of it all, ^towards the spiritual goal which is
to be more easily attained when social conditions are bettered.
Witness this testimony, taken from among many discriminating
studies of our .times :
" The organizing of society, so as to secure the material
conditions of a wholesome human life, is a pressing necessity,
the work that lies before this and coming generations. But no
possible combination of this kind ; no feeding, housing, coat-
and-waistcoating of your man, will of itself make him human.
There is in him a something not to be reached that way — a soul,
to wit, that lives not by bread alone. It is interesting, su-
premely consoling to some of us, to note how, after long ma-
terialistic obscuration, the sense of this is coming back again to
the thinkers of France and Germany. From the best minds
there is breaking a new cry for the spiritual life, as the only real
life for man. They are coming back to the heart's verdict.
Continental philosophy is saying over again what Victor Hugo
said a generation ago : ' The heart cannot err. The flesh is a
dream which passes. Whoever loves, knows and feels that
man's resting place is beyond earth. To love is to live beyond
life. The loving being demands the immortal being.' "
And surely we may feel that all social effort directed in the
power of so keen a spiritual insight holds promise of infinite
possibilities in this spiritual Renaissance.
And we can but note in passing the significance of such
movements of our times as Christian Science, 'New Thought,
and others kindred to them. Despite all their extravagances
and vagaries it is not difficult to discover in them evidences of
the profound spiritual longing and not a little of keen spiritual
insiglit, although strangely mingled with some of the grossest
of material conceptions.
And in this movement what shall we say of the Church
itself as an organization? Is she fully awake to its profound
meaning? It would be foolish to say she is blind to it. I have
THE CO]N^GREGATIONAI. UNIOX OF CAIVADA, 71
no possible sympathy with the spirit that makes little of the
spiritual power of the Church in our own times. Many of the
finest minded spiritual leaders have had their spiritual birth
witliin the Church, and is she not to thousands of people both
within and without the interpreter of the mysteries of the King-
dom and an illuminator of spiritual forces? Let us believe in
her spiritual possibilities, let us glory in her spiritual achieve-
ments. And yet while thus we recount her resources and her
victories, let us remember that the future will make larger de-
mands upon us, and that if the Church is to be the most power-
ful factor in this age of the Spiritual Renaissance there must
be much searching of heart, a considerable change of emphasis,
and perhaps the discarding entirely of a certain vocabulary
, which is used too often, before we can become fully the channel
through which spiritual power will pass wi'th unhindered flow.
1^0 one can contemplate with any degree of serious con-
centration the independence of Jesus concerning material re-
sources without discovering therein the ideal for the Church,
if she is to be truly the voice of her Founder and Leader. And
with that ideal clearly defined and closely followed there will
be on her part a diminishing insistence on material forces, and
a lessening emphasis on the advantage of material equipment
with at the same time a steady and calm utilization of all such
as are necessary. This sounds paradoxical. But in some way
the Church of Christ must show this as the type of its life;
must insist that the eyes of her members be turned inwards,
and their ears trained to the sound of spiritual voices, not dulled
by the clamour of material things offering themselves 'to the
Church. What I mean by this is that we must become strong
enough to make use of organization and equipment so that the
results flowing therefrom will be spiritual, not merely miaterial.
This will make it possible at those stages in our development
which are always so critical, i.e., times of transition, and
periods of growing material resources or added equipment, to
keep our eyes fixed on the inner spiritual realities of the life of
ithe Church, for which these others are but agents.
Further, it will give the Church the ability through her
spiritually keen people to hold the balance of power where it
ought to be — in the hands' of a democracy guided by the Spirit of
God. And this democracy will always manfully refuse to be
72 CONGREGATIONAL YEAK BOOK.
subservient to a plutocracy. The gifts of rich men to the
Church will have full value but nothing beyond it. The awe of
the wealthy will pass, and with it the temptation to the subser-
vient bowing of the knee to men of substance on the specious
plea 'that their money is of inestimable value to the Church.
Movements like that of the laymen in missionary enterprise,
fraught with such significant possibilities of usefulness', will
not be marred and weakened by the triumphant chronicling of
the names and subscriptions of the millionaires as though in :t
class by themselves, nor will the success of an enterprise like
that of the Men and Religion Forward Movement be thought to
be assured because a few capitalists have put up 'the money
required. This may perhaps sound an extreme way of putting
the question, but these instances serve to illustrate the existence
of tendencies in the life of the Church of which we may well
stand in fear. But I do not think they are dominant. Rather
do I believe that under the guidance of our Master we are
moving forward to that stage of spiritual independence when
there will be forever banished from the Church of Christ that
spirit wliich makes decisions on momentous questions to turn
on the immediate advantage or disadvantage to the Church in
material things. And then will come greatly increased material
resources, for men of wealth will gladly bring their gifts to the
Church whose independence, born of spiritual insight, forbids
her suing humbly at the feet of financial kings and stock-
market monarchs.
And here, too, let it be said that when the Church has
emerged from the influence of the spirit of 'the commercial
world which has crept in on us so insidiously but surely and
lays so much emphasis on the large organization and the heavily
capitalized Christian enterprise, we shall return to study
humbly and with eager expectation of soul the meaning for the
twentieth century of that prophetic utterance: "Not by migh't
nor by power but by my spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts."
But what of the individual Christian in this age of the
Spiritual Renaissance? For him there will be an ever deep-
ening sense of the wonder of immediate fellowship with God,
and with it a growth of sturdy independence in spiritual things.
But this independence will always be of the broadminded
type which will gladly recognize the different ways through
THE CONGREGATIONAL UNION OF CANADA. 73
which the spirit of God is mediated to the minds and hearts of
spiritual men. Then will he cease to dogmatize on any universal
type of religious experience. The mistaken emphasis on one
method of revelation will forever disappear, and be replaced
by a frank and joyous recognition of the manifold ways in
which God speaks to men. ]^or will this breadth of thought
mean lessening of intensity. Then man will have learned that
narrow vision and belief compressed into a limited space is not
a sine qua non of passionate intensity in expression and action.
The impulse to earnestness, the intensity that rings in the voice
and speaks through the countenance and communicates itself
through the grasp of the hand will have its source in the abiding
consciousness of the presence of God in the heart. Men will
explain this differently, and recount their experiences in differ-
ent terms, but no longer will any one attempt to elevate his
experience as the norm for all men, nor thrust his theories as
to how God speaks to men or how He operates in the world into
a place where they must be universally accepted by the race.
So there will necessarily be evolved a new type of evangelistic
activity, which will make all Christian men glad in the fact
that they are soul winners, even though employing various and
varied methods.
In the inner soul life of the individual, which in the last
analysis is the secret of this whole movement which we conceive
to be at work in the world, much will be made of the play of
those forces which are called into activity by '' the soul's neces-
sities, by its unformulated instincts." So those hours of in-
spiring insight, when " a man becomes aware of his life's flow,"
will be the very mountain top of spiritual experience, whence
will come the power to bring to our generation a message it
much needs, i.e., that in face of that feeling of emptiness which
is characteristic of our times, the counteracting force will not
be a return to medisevalism, such as is seen in the tide which
is turned towards Rome, but rather in the cultivation of the
sense of the immediate presence of God in every believer. And
the result of this will be both awe and inspiration, but not that
which has its rise in dim cathedrals and stately services, but
rather that which springs from the soul's direct >touch with God.
And this spiritual man in the Church of Christ and in the
world of affairs will be possessed of splendid vision and pas-
74 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
sionate expectation. His will be the spirit of unquenchable
hope and fearless endeavor. For him all questions of authority
and direction will resolve themselves ultimately into his ability
to understand for himself the voice of God as it comes in his
inner consciousness and through outer revelations. But he will
learn to listen for that voice even in the midst of the Babel
sounds of life, and not apart from them. So the spirituality
of this new era will not be of the cloister or the monastic type.
Rather will it develop out in the open in full view of God's clear
blue heavens and with the winds of the eternal blowing all
around. It will not grow through morbid introspection and
solitary musing. The latter will have its place, and without it
there will be lacking some of the richest elements of spirituality,
that come through soul communion with God in quiet places.
But the most powerful elements will be imparted to this type
of spirituality, as it was with Jesus, by constant interchange
of thought and by sympathetic fellowship with men ^vliose
souls are passing through 'the same struggles and are conscious
of the same aspirations. So this spirituality will not be morbid,
but healthy and robust. It will seek rather than shrink from
human intercourse. It will count life rich not when denuded
of healthy human experiences, but when these become spiritual-
ized and beautified by the infusion of the power of the unseen
and eternal.
Titles of books are often significant, and reveal in them-
selves pervading tendencies of each generation. One recent
work consisting of a series of articles published in a current
magazine, bears the title : " The Spiritual Unrest." It deals
with such practical problems as : " The Rich Church," " The
Jews," " The Slum .Mission," and " The Healing of the Sick."
And underneath all the discussion there is this prevailing
note — the call of the Church of Christ to become less an insti-
tution and more a diffused power. And the way to reach this
ideal and respond to this call, when the members of the Church
shall be the means of diffusing spiritual power to the world,
is not by iconoclastically discarding all the institutional work
of the organization, but by transforming it by placing its
use in the hands of men of faith and vision and clearness of
insight to recognize the mighty movement of spiritual forces all
around us.

And so with the spirit of exultant expectation in our hearts
we, the ministers of Christ's Gospel and the proclaimers of the
eternal evangel, face the life of our times. Afresh w'vth. new
meaning there comes the promise of our Master : " I have yet
many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.

ourselves under His guidance. He is to be our spiritual edu-

must perforce pass through He is to lead us to spiritual rest

Ifo fIDemoriam
REV. JOHIT McKILLICAN.
Eev. John McKillican died Tuesday morning, June 27th,
at his home, 628 Dorchester street, Montreal, at the age of 87,
as the result of an accident at Kingston two weeks previous. It
was during the Congregational Union at Kingston, that he fell
down a fligiht of stairs ; the shock caused paralysis on the right
side. He passed away quietly in the presence of his family.
Thus ends the career of one of the most revered and lovable
men in the vast Dominion of Canada; his name was known
from East to "West, and all those who knew him were his friends.
More particularly identified with Eastern Canada, the news of
his death will come with a touch of personal loss and sorrow to
all those in that district engaged in religious work, who will
remember him as a faithful and energetic servant of his Mas-
ter, and upon whom no demand was too heavy, and no task too
great if it was to carry the words of the Bible to his beloved
people of Canada.
Rev. John McKillican was born near Vankleek Hill, County
Glengarry, in 1824, his father being the Rev. Wm. McKillican,
who entered the ministry in 1790, and was engaged for many
years in pastoral and missionary work in Scotland, coming to
this country in 1816. At the age of twenty, and after having
taken a four years' course at tl:!e Congregational Institute in
Toronto, he was called to the church at which his father had
ministered for nearly thirty years.
For some time he lived at Danville, Quebec, where on Oct.
19, 1854, he married Miss Parker, a daughter of Rev. Ammi
J. Parker, then minister of the Danville Congregational Church.
He remained there until the fire at Danville, when he moved to
Montreal, and became secretary and travelling agent for the
Sunday School Union. It was in this work that he became so
well known throughout Quebec and the Maritime Provinces.
Mr. McKillican had a wonderful memory for names and
faces, always recalling the names of those whom he met on
his travels. During his long period of work -with the Sunday
THE CO^vGEEGATIONAL L'NIOX OF CANADA. 77
Schcol Union, which covered thirty years, he organized over
twelve hundred Sunday Schools, with six thousand teachers
and over forty thousand scholars. He visited over three thou-
sand five hundred schools and delivered over eight thousand
sermons and addresses. When it is remembered that he was all
the time pushing his way into the back blocks of the parts
through which he travelled, it will be seen how stupendous this
work was. Many places in Quebec and the lower provinces
received their only religious instruction from his lips, and the
visits he made to them, seldom oftener than once a year, were
the only occasions upon which the settlers and their families
saw a clergyman. Struggling against such odds, he yet estab-
lished that band of Sunday schools which still bear the imprint
of his kindly, righteous touch.
He was a great temperance worker and an ardent Liberal,
and was one of the oldest living graduates of the Congregational
College, having taken his degree in 1851, and was a member of
the Executive of the Dominion Alliance.
The funeral service took place in Calvary Church, Mon-
treal, all the Congregational Ministers in the City taking part.
Rev. Frank J. Day led in prayer, Rev. A. W. Main read the
scripture lesson, Prof. Warriner spoke in reference to Mr.
McKillican's life and work, and Rev. Dr. Martin, as the pastor
of deceased, spoke of his blameless life and great activities.
S. H. C. MINER.
When to the meeting of the Congregational Union of Can-
ada in Kingston came the totally unexpected news of the death
of Mr. S. H. C. Miner there was a universal sense of great
denominational and personal loss. The v^hole morning session
was subdued and quiet — for a giant in Israel had fallen, a
strong man wise and loyal had been taken away. His interest
in the denominational life was so strong and had in late years
been manifested in so many generous ways that all felt the
magnitude of the loss. Always a faithful supporter of the Con-
gregational Church in Granby, of which he was a member, Mr.
Miner's first contact with our larger denominational life was
in connection with our Congregational College, in Montreal, of
whose Board of Governors he was Chairman at the time of his
Vo CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
death. The generous challenge made by Mr. Miner to pay a
large share of the amount needed to bring our College Endow-
ment up to the $100,000.00 mark was speedily met by our
churches, and Mr. Miner has been a thoughtful and warm
supporter of the College ever since, showing, with Mrs. Miner,
in many ways, a desire to provide the best possible training
and equipment for our students.
Then came the Jubilee Fund, in which our churches were,
by the offer of the English Union and the Colonial Missionary
Society, stirred up to wipe out their debts and become free to
serve. It was not known till afterward that the whole matter
originated with Mr. Miner, and was suggested by him to ihe
visiting deputation from England, and thougth 'his splendid
gift of $20,000.00 to that fund was much appreciated, only a
few knew that his other gifts to the Central Fund and to indi-
vidual churches amounted to almost half as much more. To
those who were close to Mr. Miner during that campaign, his
intimate knowledge of our churches and men was a constant
surprise and stimulus. His joy in the rising up of our people
and their becoming " free to serve " was very great.
The next step in Mr. Miner's carefully planned generosity
was the gift to our denomination of the complete salary and
expenses of a General Secretary for three years. Since that
time the Church Union movement, which to Mr. Miner seemed
premature, and at this time unwise, hindered the larger plans
he had in mind for other departments of our work, but his
support of the College continued, and his gifts to Zion Church,
Montreal, and Point St. Charles Church on more than one
occasion have shown his steady interest.
A multitude of other gifts to the churches and pastors have
been known only to himself and those receiving the aid, while
the Granby Church is indebted to him for many helpful and
kindly deeds.
All these gifts were made most freely, no condition attached
to them, save that no fuss should be made about them. The
man was very much greater than his gifts, however generous,
and those who came into close touch with him realized that in
this man of so many and wide business interests scattered from
Boston to Vancouver, the time and care given to acquiring his
intimate knowledge of our churches and men, and to his plans
for the denomination, were the greatest gifts of all.

THE COXGEEOATIONAL UNION OF CANADA. 70
A thorough going democrat in the best sense of the word,
and a despiser of all sham and form, he was a very hearty
believer in the polity and principles of the Congregational
Church, to whose help he had resolved to devote the closing
years of his life. Its spiritual liberty, democracy and adapt-
ability appealed to him. Beginning as a little lad by serving the
local Congregational Church as lighter of lamps and fires at a
salary of 9 cents a week, he grew to serve the church and the
denomination in even larger ways.
His was a mind of broad reach, and grasp of great general
principles, and he cared successfully for a couple of large
businesses in Boston, an independent Rubber Company in
Granby, a coal mine in Alberta, a lumber mill in British Col-
umbia and other interests in many places. In politics inde-
pendent and liberal, to him more than to any other Sir Wilfrid
Laurier gave credit for the adoption by our Canadian Gov-
ernment of the policy of a preference to British goods.
In conversation one saw glimpses of a little lad beginning
business life with small trading ventures, adding a little each
time; then ithe man of ever-growing experience fighting hard
battles, now and again losing, but on the whole winning, and
showing through it all a sterling honesty. ^Nothing roused him
more than any shadow of dishonesty. Through a friend I
learned of one instance some years ago in which Mr. Miner,
as one of the directors of a mine, whose vein of ore was giving
out, was urged with other directors to make use of this private
knowledge to sell out and avoid personal loss, but this he indig-
nantly refused to do and held his shares and position till the
mine was closed.
In my own personal connection with Mr. Miner, as Secre-
tary of the Jubilee Fund, and later as Secretary of our Union,
I remember with pleasure many instances revealing the great
amount of thought and kindly personal attention he gave to the
work of our churches and the men serving them. To those who
did not know Mr. Miner personally, his name will stand out
chiefly as a giver of very generous gifts to our denominational
work, but to those who knew him more closely, the man himself
with his sterling qualities, broad vision, large plans, and hearty
loyalty to our Congregational life, will always be verv much
greater than his gifts, and our loss in his death all the more
deeply felt.

MINUTES OF THE ANNUAL MEETING.
Kingston, June 8th, 1911.
The 30th Annual Meeting of the C.C.F.M.S. was held in
the First Congregational Church, Kingston, Thursday, June
8th, 1911, at 2 p.m.
The Second Vice-President, Kev. E. C. Woodley, was in
the chair and conducted 'the devotional exercises.
The Rev. J. T. Tucker was appointed Minute Secretary.
The following reports were presented and adopted: Secre-
tary, Rev. R. G. Watt; Treasurer, Mr. H. W. Barker; De-
partment of Sunday Schools and Young People's Societies,
Miss Effie Jamieson.
Moved by Rev. F. J. Day, and seconded by Rev. W. H.
Warriner, and carried:
".That realizing the good work done by tihe Laymen's Mis-
sionary Committee in the past two years, and realizing also
that better work could be done by that Committee in the way
of increasing the gifts for missions if they had more funds at
their disposal, we would, therefore, grant the -sum of $100 to
this Committee, to be used according to their best judgment in
promoting the cause of missionary giving in our churches."
The officers and Board of Directors were then elected for
the ensuing year.
On motion of the Rev. W. H. Warriner, the following reso-
lution was heartily passed by a standing vote:
" That we welcome most heartily the presence of two of
our honored missionaries — Miss Melville and Miss Maggie
Melville— and desire to express to them our deep appreciation
of their long, heroic and fruitful labors in Chisamba, and con-
vey to them and their fellow-laborers the assurance of our
pride in their work, our continued sympathy and earnest sup-
port."
The recommendations of the Executive Committee, sub-
mitted in the Annual Report of the Society, were accepted and
adopted.
An address was then given by Miss Maggie Melville, and

don Cattell were introduced.
The meeting closed with the benediction.
J. T. Tucker,
Minute Secretary.
84 CONGKEGATIONAL, YEAR BOOK.
REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF SUNDAY
SCHOOLS AND YOUNG PEOPLE'S
SOCIETIES.
The report of this department must necessarily be brief
this year, as it is with regret we are compelled to state that
not much work has been undertaken during the past year, as
Miss Naylor, the Assistant Superintendent, owing ito broken
health had to discontinue the work, and the Superintendent
having but limited time at her disposal, was much handicapped
in endeavoring to carry it on alone. We have the prospect
next year of very capable help in Miss Lillian O'Hara, of To-
ronto, as Assistant Superintendent, and look forward to a
year's active work. I am convinced that there are great pos-
sibilities in the young people of our churches; their response
to any appeal for service is hearty, aind I feel that we must be
more aggressive in our work among them.
The number of our delegates at the Summer Conferences
last July showed an increase — 18 in all — 9 at Whitby and 9
at Knowlton. This year there will be held in Canada three
Summer Schools, all under the auspices of the Young People's
Missionary Movement ; one at Woodstock, one at Knowlton and
the other at Whitby. The necessity for the establishment of
this third school shows the growth of interest in missions
among 'the young people, and makes it possible for more of our
people to take advantage of the training afforded at these
schools. The great need in carrying on our work is leaders
in the local school or society, some one capable of forming and
teaching mission study classes and maintaining an intelligent
interest in missions. The young people receive a training along
(these lines at the Summer Conferences, also missions as a life-
work is presented, and we would ask that the pastors urge as
many to attend as possible. This department set itself the
task of endeavoring to gain recruits for the active array of
Jesus Chrisit, for serving either at home or abroad, and Novem-
ber 22nd last was set apart as " Life Service Day." An effort
was made to have this day generally observed, and in connec-
tion with it a special young people's number of the Congre-
gationalist was issued, the request for this special issue coming
from the delegates to the Knowlton Conference. As to the re-

suit of the observance of this day we can say much prayer and
thought were given to it, and we feel that it was not in vain.
It is known to the department that there are seven of our
young people who are volunteers for foreign service, but these
decisions, we believe, were all reached before our observance
of " Life Service Day " of last ISTovember, and, no doubt, there
are others who have not yet made their decision known.
We are looking forward to the appointment of an indus-
itrial man for Africa, as when this appointment is made he is
to become the missionary of this department, and will be sup-
ported by the young people and Sunday School

SECRETARY'S REPORT.
The year 1910-11 has been an interesting one in the work
falling to the lot of your Execu'tive.
Since the last annual gathering three meetings have been
held.
Many encouraging features have been met vt^ith, but we
have had also our difficult problems to solve.
We have felt keenly the loss of our President, ^vho, on
account of his removal ito the far West, found it necessary to
resign from office. A suitable resolution expressing the ap-
preciation of the Society for his enthusiastic and painstaking
service was forwarded by the Executive to Mr. Unsworth. We
are pleased also to know that Mr. Unsworth is still a Canadian
Congregational pastor, having accepted the call of the First
Congregational Church, Vancouver, B.C.
In the absence of Dr. Hill, First Vice-President, Rev.
E. C. Woodley, M.A., Second Vice-President, has ably filled
the post since Mr. Unsworth resigned.
We have also ito record the resignation of Miss Baylor
from the office of Assistant Superintendent of the Department
of Sunday School and Young People's Societies, Miss x^ay-
lor found it necessary on account of ill-health to relinquish
this office. A lotter of appreciation and sympathy Was for-
warded to Miss IsTaylor by your Executive.
Mr. Tucker Called.
At a meeting of the Board of Directors, held in Cobourg
after their election last June, a call was extended 'to Mr. J. T.
Tucker, of the C.C.C., to take up missionary work in Chi-
samba, West Coast Africa, which call has been duly accepted.
Mr. Tucker has been accepted by the A. B. C. F. M., as
has also Miss Lake, of Devon, England (who is soon to become
Mrs. Tucker).
It was a real disappointment to all concerned when it
was learned that on account of an accident to Mr. Tucker his
medical adviser discourages his going to Africa before next
year.
On the other hand, we may profit during these months of
waiting by getting to know our future missionaries more inti-
THE CANADA FOREIGN MISSIONARY SOCIETY. 87
ma'tely, and our interest in their future undertakings will be
thereby increased.
Mr. Tucker was ordained to the ministry, April 27th lasit, in
Zion Church, Montreal, and for the present has charge of the
work in St. John, E".B.
Industrial Missionary.
Your Executive has had in mind for some time the send-
ing out of an Industrial Superintendent to Chisamba, to. re-
lieve Dr. Currie in this branch of the work.
The Department of Sunday Schools and Young People's
Societies has kindly oilered to assume the financial responsi-
bility for this missionary worker.
After much advertising and correspondence, we have had
four young men definitely offer their services. Judging from
the best informa'tion obtainable the mind of the Executive was
turned toward one whose name we now heartily recommend to
the incoming Board of Directors to be elected at this Annual
Meeting — Mr. Gordon Cattell — a member of the First Church,
Hamilton, who, in rthe judgment of your Committee, possesses
every necessary qualification for a life of splendid service for
the Kingdom of God in Africa.
Superintendent of Education.
We have not yet succeeded in finding a man who is in pos-
session of those qualifications necessary to success in such a
work, and is ready to say with Isaiah, '* Here am I, send me."
The Training Institute.
We can only report that the proposition has been enthusi-
astically endorsed by the mission workers, but with Dr. Currie
returning (probably in 1912), wnth whom the w^hole question
of a training institute originated and has since been so closely
identified, we feel that nothing can be lost by making haste
slowly. This is especially wise in view of the fact that there is
great diversity of opinion as to the best loca^tion for the insti-
tute buildings and work.
According to the decision of the missionaries on the field
the institute is to serve the whole mission, and as we have only
one stai-ion of the mission, and, therefore, in the minority at
88 CONGREGATIONAL YEAE BOOK.
mission meetings, we do not wish to go into the undertaking
blindfolded as to our real responsibility. We must have the
terms well defined to prevent misunderstanding in future
days, otherwise Ave might be called upon to remind our
American cousins that it was a case of '^' Taxation without due
representation."
It is our hope and expectation that Dr. Patton, on his re-
turn from Chisamba, will have a definite proposition to make
that-, no doubt, will clear the way for prompt and energetic
action at home and on the field.
We believe that the Institute is urgently needed and are
making preparation to meet our responsibilities for the same
when the time is ripe for action.
Laymen's Missionary Committee.
We wish to place on record our hearty appreciation of the
work which is being accomplished by the Laymen's Missionary
Committtee. There are many difficulties to contend with, but
they are rendering splendid service to the whole sisterhood of
churches, along the line of systematic giving for Missions.
Missionary Delegation Worh.
During the year we have had the pleasure and profit of
missionary addresses by Dr. R. Wardlaw Thompson, of the
L. M. S. ; Rev. George Allchin, of the A. B. C. F. M., Osaka,
Japan, and the Misses Melville, of Chisamba, West Central
Africa.
Dr. Thompson visited the meeting of the Quebec Associa-
ition, and several of our churches, including Montreal, Ottawa,
Toronto, Hamilton and Brantford. His visit will undoubtedly
increase our interest in the work of the L. M. S., and may re-
sult in establishing even more intimate relations between our
British Congregational Society and our Canadian churches.
Rev. George Allchin visited 23 of the Western Ontario
churches, and the reports of the meetings held were most
encouraging.
The Misses Melville, who are home on furlough, are visit-
ing many of our churches under the direction of the Woman's
Board. For the excellent work they are accomplishing we wish
to express our thanks to them and also to the Woman's Board.

Our Relation to the L. M. S.
For some years past it has been felt that as a Missionary
Society we should somewhat enlarge our borders and broaden
the missionary vision of our churches. Five years ago the pos-
sibility of some association with the London Missionary So-
ciety, in addition to our present relationship with the Ameri-
can Board, was first broached, and since then our plans have
been maturing, until to-day we have brought them to a definite
issue, and we recommend that the sum of $1,000 be included in
the budgeit, to initiate what," we trust, will be a permanent re-
lation with this great Society. We would specify that this
amount be spent in fields other than Africa, that our churches
may feel that ifhey have an organic connection with world-wide
missions.
The WorJc on the Field.
We have had five missionaries at work on the field during
the year, while two have been at home on furlough.
The Medical Department.
This department is in charge of Dr. and Mrs. Cammack,
who are earnestly giving themselves to relieving human suffer-
ing. Marked success is crowning their efforts, as may be seen
from the following message from Dr. Cammack : " In the six
months, from June 1st to December 1st, we have given some
8,300 treatments, beside a large amount of medicine taken by
caravans, out-stations and passing carriers who often bring
rubber or cloth for some special remedy, the fame of which has
reached them. Sometimes they bring some one taken ill or
injured on the road. We have performed four major, ten cat-
aract, and several minor operations. Dr. Hollenbeck very
kindly came over from Kamundango to help in three opera-
tions. I hope that we may be able in time to get a good hos-
pital sterilizer. The portable one we have is one of the best
of the kind, but we would not care to try much difiicult surgery
without a better one. Our receipts have been: from whites,
$280; from natives, $150."
Thus we see that the work accomplished through our Medi-
cal Depar<tment is a promising one ; and many lives are being
made brighter through relieving human suffering in this way.
90 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
Educational and Evangelistic Department.
The last report shows that there are fully 1,600 pupils in
the schools and kindergartens. In all 47 teachers and assist-
ants are at work, 22 of whom are supported, in whole or in
})art, by churches, societies or individual friends at home.
The missionaries are assisted on Sunday in the conduct of
public worship and the Sunday Schools by four native evange-
lists, as well as by some of the adult teachers.
' In October last Dr. Currie wrote: "This month we have
received 17 new members into the church, baptized 9 infants,
married 6 couples, and though very many are away trading
our Sunday morning congregations average about 700 " (at
Chisamba).
Early in the new year he wrote : " We admitted 17 new
members the first Sunday to church fellowship and 66 to the
probationer's classes the second of the new year. A number
who were irregular in conduct — largely unknown to us — have
set themselves right, and we have already 15 p.roposed for
church fellowship next communion out of over 300 who are in
the probationers' classes — all on confession of their faith in
Christ."
On March 1st Dr. Currie writes: "Over 100 have pro-
fessed faith in Christ since the first of the year."
We rejoice with our beloved missionaries and their faiithful
native helpers in welcoming these into the household of faith.
The Industrial Department.
Dr. Currie has had charge of this department for several
years, and much work of a practical nature has been accom-
pdished.
We quote from Dr. Currie to show 'the exact position
occupied by this department in the work of the mission and
the country at large :
" The natives do all the work of building out-schools as
far as they can, such as making the bricks, building the walls,
collecting 'timber and grass and putting on the roofing. We
provide young men when necessary to superintend the work,
besides doors, windows and such articles as have to be imported,
glass, putty, hinges, locks, etc. It is for this the money is
required on the buildings. W.e also provide tables, slates, chalk,
THE CANADA FOREIGN" MISSIONARY SOCIETY. 91
black-boards and such requisites, but the natives buy their
books, pencils, mostly at cost price, but when there is any profit
it goes to the support of the schools.
" I think I have before mentioned that we are encouraging
a number of the older men to go out from the station with their
families and build places for themselves. They are now earn-
ing from five to ten times as much as we were able to pay them,
and seem to be able to obtain all the work they are willing to
do. In fact they are the skilled workers in this part of the
country, and it is no longer necessary for the traders to send to
the coast for carpenters, builders, etc. '
" We are now turning out some very neat and useful furni-
ture, fully equal to that we are accustomed to import from
America, and in more beautiful woods than we could afford to
import. In every department we are doing nicely, but our
great desire and aim is to push forward the evangelistic work,
which is the centre and hope of all our aims and hopes.
" We believe very strongly in the need of industrial train-
ing for this people, at the present stage of our work, but I
would not turn over my hand to make a mechanic with no hope
of leading him to Christ at the same time. Christ must be
first and foremost the object of all our endeavors."
In concluding this report we would mos't earnestly recom-
mend as a motto for the coming year the closing sentence of
Dr. Currie's letter.
In our united effort for the extension of the Kingdom of
God, whether at home or abroad, may we not make 'this our
resolve that, " Christ must be first and foremost the object of
all our endeavors."
Respectfully submitted.

Secretary.

EDUCATIOi^AL SECEETARY'S REPORT.
The chief work of this department during the past year
has been the preparation of a set of slides illustrating our West
Central Africa Mission. For this interesting set we are in-
debted to the Misses Melville, who kindly supervised the work
for us. To (this set has been added some general views of
workers and scenes on the Dark Continent, also a beautiful
colored set of ten slides illustrating " The l^inety and Kine."
These views have already been exhibited in two of our Con-
gregational churches in Kingston, also in Scotland, Brantford,
Granby, Eorest, Toronto (Western), and the meetings of the
Guelph branch of the Woman's Board, and in Toronto at the
Annual Meeting of the Woman's Board of Foreign Missions.
These views may be obtained from the Educational Secretary
by any of our church organizations free on application. This
department had also a good missionary exhibit on hand at the
Congregational Union. In this exhibit were several packages
of free literature for distribution amongst ministers and dele-
gates. These were kindly forwarded us, express prepaid, by
the A. B. C. F. M. Publishing Department on request of your
Educational Secretary.
A great deal of correspondence has also received prompt
attention during the year, and many little details have received
careful attention which do not find a place in this report.
I regret to say in conclusion that during the past few
months I have been unable to give the necessary time to tlio
work of this department owing to the long and serious illness
of my father, who passed on June 27th.
We will be pleased to answer any questions and give any
information in our power re the Foreign Mission work of our
denomination.
Respectfully submitted.

Educational Secretary.

TREASURER'S REPORT, 1910-11.
Our aim for the year was $10,000 for the General Fund,
while the statement submitted herewith shows that just a little
more than half was received, viz., $5,302, the smallest total in
four years.
For Special Purposes we have out-distanced all previous
years, $7,619 having come to hand. And this, added to the
General Fund receipts, makes a grand total of $12,917 for the
year.
Let us look at the General Fund first. Of the balance of
$2,107 carried forward from our last statement, $2,000 was
voted at the Annual Meeting for the Furlough and JSTew Work
accounts, so that the actual amount brought forward, available
for general purposes, was only $107 of the whole amount on
hand. Add the receipts for ^the year and we have a credit total
of $7,410. Owing to the unfortunate circumstances which
have delayed Mr. Tucker, and owing also to the inability of the
Executive as yet to definitely fix upon an Industrial Mission-
ary, our expenses have been smaller than usual, and we have
had io remit to the American Board only $2,664, which is just
c trifle more than sufficient to pay the salaries of Drs. Currie
and Cammack to the 30th inst. In accordance wi1:h the reso-
lution passed last year at Cobourg, a further transfer of $1,000
has been made to the Furlough Fund, making $2,000 on hand
in this account. We have also transferred anothei" $1,000 for
'New Work — the Instiftute being the objective — our aim being,
as stated last year, to make this fund $5,000. At present it
amounts to only $3,000.
As pointed out in the footnote 'to the printed statement, the
coming year will likely be one of exceptional expense, and it
behooves all the churches to buckle to. Provision will have to
be made for the home-coming of the Curries, and the equip-
ment and the out-going of the Tuckers (please note the plural
number), as well as of the new Industrial Missionary. An-
other small expense which we must provide for is our share
cf ithe publication of the new arithmetic. We feel honored in
having had Miss Maggie Melville chosen to compile an arith-
metic, and translate it into Umbundu. The work is almost
completed, and as the book will be used as a text-book in all the
schools of the Mission, our share of the cost will not be much.
94 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
I have already referred to the falling off of gifts for the
General Fund. The greatest proportionate decrease has been m
the West. Why only one church in the West has contributed to
the General Fund — ^^and that the farthest away — is hard to
understand. Victoria gave $75, which is. a good donation^
though $5 less than last year's amount. This represents the
entire giving of Manitoba and the West for the General Fund.
What is the matter with Winnipeg Central and St. James^
Park, Vancouver First, and Vancouver Knox, and all the rest ?
Our financial men are looking for gTeat things from the West
this year. Optimistic statisticians estimate the wheat crop at
200,000,000 bushels, or double that of last year. If these
hopes are realized, I trust the reflex influence will be seen in
the Treasurer's report a year hence.
For designated purposes, however, $761 came from the
Western Provinces ; $750 of this amount being from the Win-
nipeg Central Church for the Girls' School in Smyrna. This
gift places Winnipeg Central in the first place in total giving.
Next comes Montreal Emmanuel with $722 j then Hamilton
First, $380; Montreal Calvary, $297; Toronto N'orthern,
$277; Toronto Western, $255; Guelph, $229; Montreal Zion,
$210; then Brantford, $176; Maxwell, $142; Kingston Bethel,
Toronto Broadview, and Danville, each, $140 ; Sherbrooke,
$132 ; Scotland, $122 (good for Scotland) ; Toronto Olivet,
$106 ; and Montreal Westmount, $100. Among other churches
that deserve special mention are Cobourg and Coldsprings,
which together gave $108; Embro, $62; Berlin, $48; Listowel,
$50; Rugby, $75; Sheffield (Ont.) and Sheffield (KB.), $50
each; Sherkston, $40; Speedside, $45; Melbourne, $60, and
Tilbury East, $62. The last mentioned is remarkably good,
considering that the church has been supplied for several
months by a minister of another denomination.
Last year I had to report a drop of $204 from Toronto. If
I blushed in reporting this, I must blush more deeply in con-
fessing to a further shrinkage of $367 from this one city. Is
it any consolation to the Toronto people to know that Montreal
has also gone behind ? I am afraid there is not much consola-
tion, for the drop is only $60.
The churches of the United Brethren Association average
up better than those of the Old Brigade ; $289 has come to
hand from this recent addition to our forces.
THE CANADA FOREIGN IMISSIONARY SOCIETY. 95
In the Designated Fund the receipts for special objects on
our own field were $6,221.33, which far exceeds the amount
of any previous year. This includes one gift of $5,000. I
would like to make special mention of this large gift, which
came from Mrs. William Freeland, of Toronto, in memory of
her late husband. While the whole amount has been paid over
to the Society, the deed of gift stipulates that the interest on
the money is to be used for the training of native workers.
The legacies and memorial gifts which have come to the So-
ciety from time 'to time perpetuate the memory of those who,
in their lifetime, took a deep interest in our work. Comi
mencing with the Clara Wilkes Currie schoolhouse, and the
Ella F. M. Williams hospital, there is a long list since the
Society's organization ; and we have added this year not only
the Freeland memorial of $5,000, but a legacy of $100 from
the late Miss Hannah Hodgskin, of Guelpli, for a hospital cot-
tage; $200 through Emmanuel Church, Montreal, for the
R. C. Jamieson memorial hospital cottage; and $100 through
"the same church for the Susan Fisher Operating Room in the
Chisamba Hospital. Let us thank God for these memorials of
our departed friends.
As a forwarding agency, we have received and sent forward
$1,393 for various missionary purposes outside of our own
field. The list includes gifts for India, Turkey, China, Brazil
and Peru, and shows the widespread missionary interest of our
people. It will be noticed that the special appeal made by the
acting president for the China Famine Fund resulted in
$307.50 being given to relieve the distress.
I would like to call attention to the fact that two churches
which we were given to understand had passed out of existence
have sent in contributions, viz., Stouffville and Toronto Zion.
" They being dead yet give."
The balance of $10,247 on hand in the Designated Accounts
is made up as follows:
Freeland Memorial $5,000 00
l^ew Work Fund 3,000 00
Furlough Fund 2,000 00
Industrial Account 71 01
Hospital Cottages Account 176 53
$10,2-17 54
9G CONGKEGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
Our books show that some thirty of the churches did not
contribute anything for the General Fund. Some, while not
giving for the General Fund, contributed for special purposes.
To them we would say : "■ This ought ye to have done, and
not to have left the other imdone." Special work, such as the
supporting of native teachers, paying for school supplies, etc.,
is eminently suitable for Sunday School and Young People's
Societies; but to the older people of our churches the general
support of the work should offer sufficient attraction. With
these thirty churches added to our present list, something of
the possibilities of the future may be seen.
Your Treasurer has a cherished desire to see the Canadian
Congregational Churches 'take over the whole of the West Cen-
tral African Mission. With each church giving as it should
for the General Fund, the support of the entire mission would
be well within our ability. Perhaps the time has not yet
arrived for such an undertaking; bM when the Institute is
established this might well be done. Only in this way, I be-
lieve, can we find the solution of some of the difficulties on the
field. For example, we are distributing this year $1,581 for
special work at Chisamba. The other stations of the mission
being supported out of the general funds of the American
Board, are not treated with the same liberality in this respect,
and the result is obvious ; $446 is being forwarded this year
for the support of boys, and the Freeland Fund will swell the
annual amount for this object by $300. The result is that the
boys at Chisamba are well favored, while those at the other
stations are ill-favored — to use the Scripture expression re-
garding the kine in Pharaoh's dream. A few weeks ago a mis-
sionary from one of the other stations, who is now home on
furlough, pointed out this difficulty, and exipressed the desire
that we might take over the whole mission, and thus all would
be treated alike. In the meantime I would beg to suggest that
some means might be devised looking to the support by our
Canadian churches of boys at the other stations as well as our
own. Whatever may be our views of commercial reciprocity
or trade preference. Christian reciprocity of this sort should
commend itself to all of us.
Before closing, allow me to express my conviction 'that, had
the Foreign and Home Missionary Societies assisted the Lay-
THE CANADA FOREIGN MISSIONARY SOCIETY.

men's Committee this year as they did the previous year, the
general result would have been much better. While the Rev.
Dr. Schofield, who has kindly acted as Secretary for the Com-
mittee without remuneration, has done good, the Committee has
had very little money to spend, and its work has, therefore,
been limited. Your Treasurer last summer, during his holi-
day, was able to visit some half-dozen churches in Nova Scotia
and New Brunswick in the interests of the laymen's work, and
fhe Revs. J. K. Unsworth and J. T. Daley also spent some
time jn this way among the churches of the Lower Provinces ;
and we have reason to believe that some fresh interest was
aroused. Besides these visits, a few other churches around the
big centres were reached by the members of the Committee
personally ; but on the whole very little deputation work was
done.

ARTICLE XIII. AMENDING THE CONSTITUTION.
This Constitution may be altered or amended by a vote of
two-thirds of the members present at any annual meeting of the
Society, one day's notice having previously been giyen of the
proposed amendment, in writing.
ISTOTICE.
It is becoming more than ever a practice among Christian
people to recognize the Lord's portion in their Last Wills and
Testaments, whereby, though th^y be dead, they speak and act
in the furtherance of Missionary, Educational and Benevolent
objects. American Congregationalists are among the most
wise and generous in. this day, and have left legacies of bless-
ings for succeeding generations. Among ithe members of our
Congregational churches in Canada there have also been those
who have followed a likewise generous course.
For the guidance of those who may desire to make like
bequests, the following legal form is subjoined. The amount
bequeathed may be devoted specially to the Church Extension
and Building Fund, in which case the income would only be
used, or may be given for the general purposes of 'the Society.
FORM FOR A BEQUEST.
I give and bequeath to the Canada Congregational Mis-
sionary Society, incorporated by the Parliament of the Domin-
ion of Canada, A.D. 1885, the sum of $ out of
my estate, to be paid without any charge or
deduction whatever, and I direct that the receipt of the Secre-
tary and Treasurer of the Society shall constitute and be a
sufficient discharge thereof.

118 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
FIFTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL KEPOET OF THE CANADA
CONGKEGATIONAL MISSIONAKY SOCIETY,
JUNE 1st. 1911.
Your Executive have pleasure in presenting ithis report of
the 58th year, which has been for them one of unusual respon-
sibility and work in many ways. We have held eight meetings
in all, of some sixteen sessions', with a number of informal con-
ferences.
During the year our Society has assisted in supporting
forty-three pastors and students in various charges and with a
large number of changes in the pastorate there has been the
labor of finding suitable men to put in charge. We are
glad to report that at the present time all our missionary fields
are at least temporarily supplied.
In a survey of the field, beginning in the East with the
Maritime Provinces, Margaree, under Mr, W. J. Bevis an^l
Pleasant Kiver, under Eev. G. W. Ball, are continuing steadily.
Economy now has Mr. J. H. Sulston as pastor, and reports
good work. Rev. Jas Middleton has just settled at South Mait-
land, and Rev. Hugh McDermott will arrive in Kingsport next
month, both men from the Newfoundland churches. Rev.
Walter Cannon is now in charge at Milton and Mr. H. G.
Wright, of Glasgow, has been secured for Liverpool. St. John,
N.B., has been rather discouraged and will need especial help
from us at present, but is looking hopefully to one of our
Ontario pastors, and in the meantime Rev. J. T. Tucker is in
charge for the summer.
In Quebec — Franklin Centre is in charge of a student.
Point St. Charles, under Rev. A. W. Main, has had a very suc-
cessful winter with an addition of fifty members at their Easter
service. Amherst Park comes under our care, and now has an
ordained minister of its own, Rev. H. Moule, one of this year's
graduates of our college. They hope soon to build larger. An-
other of the graduates, Rev. R. Wilson Carr, has taken charge
at Fitch Bay. We have also undertaken this year to help the
Union Colored Church, whose pastor. Rev. Mr. Gantt, is doing
good work. They also are accumulating a building fund, and
look forward to a building of their own. At present they worship
in the Inspector Street Mission Sunday School-room.
CANADA CONGREGATIONAL MISSIONARY SOCIETY. 119
In Eastern Ontario, Ottawa South has made good progress
and, under the lead of their pastor, Eev. A. G. Sleep, will soon
have to enlarge their building. In Kingston, the First Church,
under Ilev. Mr. Kice, already needs less help than a year ago,
while Calvary, under Kev. H. D. Whitmore, rejoices in its
pastor and in its enlarged building.
Cobourg continues to prosper under Eev. A. F. Pollock, and
in Barrie, under Eev. Wrii. Hipkin ; in Pine Grove, Humber
Summit and Churchill the work is about as last year.
In Western Ontario — Hamilton Immanuel, under Eev. Mr.
Eaynor, turns somewhat disappointedly from their vision of
a new building on a new site to a safer plan of building, with
our promised help, a new brick building on the unused part of
the present site. Stratford had its best year yet under Eev. J.
P. Gerrie, and regrets his resignation. Woodstock under Mr.
Morley has a new courage and a happier outlook. Forest, Lake
Shore and Ebenezer, under Mr. Simmons, have had a good year.
Turning to the West. In Winnipeg, St. James Park has
undergone quite a reorganization, and with Eev. Edgar White-
house, their pastor, anticipate a steady and happy growth.
Crescent Church suffered the loss of their pastor, Eev. E. E.
Weeks, who was recalled by ithe Colonial Missionary Society
last September, and they are still being ministered to by a
temporary supply. Brandon has passed through very severe
friction, losing their pastor and some of their members, but
under Eev. A. J. MacKenzie, face the future with courage.
They will need considerable help for a time. Carlcton Union,
under Dr. Ealph has welcomed Miss Halpenny, the Woman's
Board ISTurse. Glyndive, under Eev. W. T. Morris, reports no
change. Landis has had somewhat of a hard year through
failure of crops, and Mr. Gervan, who has worked hard and is
in poor health, will retire in the fall. Eev. G. J. Hindley has
been sent out to minister to ISTaseby for the summer and take
Mr. Gervan's place in the autumn.
In our Swedish work ithere has been somewhat ol a change
in the grouping of churches under our four Swedish pastors,
and Eev. G. A. Sanders has moved from Eed Deer to Ferintosh
to be nearer the other workers. Our Swedish brethren have in
mind also the support of a Swedish travelling evangelist who
will visit the Swedish settlers where too few to have regular
preaching.
120 COJ^fGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
In Calgary we have been glad to see the progress of the year
under Eev. A. K. Schrag. A site has been bought in a central
location, which has more than doubled in value, a building
was purchased and placed upon it at a total cost of some $9,000,
of which our Society provided $4,000, and the Calgary friends
provided about $3,000, more than meeting our challenge of a
year ago. Their building is already too small and they must
plan for enlarging, while at the same time they have secured a
site for a second church in Albert Park, and plan for a third.
In a remarkable and happy way we have entered into a new
work for German-speaking settlers in co-operation with the Ger-
man Congregational Conference of the United States. Rev.
F. A. Willmar, our first German pastor, with headquarters at
Calgary, ministers to three organized churches and a number of
settlements in Alberta, and expects this summer to need another
helper.
Victoria has grown under Rev. Mr. Carson to need a large
building; has secured a new site at a cost of $15,000, and ex-
pects to sell the present property for about $50,000.
In Vancouver the $3,18Y.50 jubilee fund and C. C. M. S.
lien amount has not yet been returned by the First Church, but
will be paid in June from the second instalment of the price of
their old property. The church, under Rev. J. K. Unsworth, is
making happy progress, and the coming year may see both their
own new building and the establishement of a new cause und(>r
their care. Vancouver Knox has also a proposal to lay before
our committee for opening up work on one site in Grandview,
and also in Collingwood East, one of Vancouver's suburbs.
Your Executive have had this year a great deal of labor and
responsibility in connection with property. Zion Church and
Parkdale Church, Toronto, were handed over to this Society
during the year by formal purchase, Zion at $35,000, Parkdale
at $4,500, we paying off indebtedness to the amount in all of
$10,000 including legal expense and repairs. Both properties are
now being held for sale and the subsequent establishment of a
fund for Congregational Extension in Toronto. Onr Toronto
Property Committee holds Zion at $52,000 and Parkdale at
$4,500.' In the meantime Zion is rented at $1,800 a year and
taxes, with a rebate of $600 on the first year for renovation. The
l^elson Church is also rented. Alton parsonage, at present rented,
CANADA CONGREGATIONAL MISSIONAltY SOCIETY. 121
will also come under our care and we hold in addition a
quarter section near Wetaskiwin and two lots in Grandview,
Vancouver.
In this connection we have made use of our Church Exten-
sion and Building Fund, together with 'the Jubilee Extension
Fund, to pay our promise of $500 to St, James Park, Winni-
peg; $200 to Beach Meadows; $75 to Ottawa South, and to
contribute $l-,000 to the Calgary Church site and building. We
have also pledged $2,000 toward the interest fund of Pt. St.
Charles Church; $1,000 to Hamilton Immanuel, and have
promised to assist Amherst Park when they build.
Among financial matters of interest during the year special
mention may be made of the bequest of the late Geo. ]^. Hodge,
of Sherbrooke, a boy in our Home Mission field at Eaton, later
a member of our Sherbrooke Church, and though not a mem-
ber of our denomination at the time of his death, remembering
our work in his will by a generous gift. This legacy will
amount to possibly $17,000, of which $10,000 has already been
paid by the executors, and this will be divided between our
home and foreign work in proportions yet to be agreed upon
at a joint meeting of the Executives of the two Societies.
Finding that Eev. J. T. Tucker would be imable to go to
Africa under our Foreign Society for a twelvemonth, we have
gladly appointed him to the position of our evangelist under the
George Robertson Fund. He will be stationed for the summer
months at St. John, jST.B., where his work has already proved
helpful, and later among the churches as opportunity may arise.
During the year the United Brethren Association has come
into close fellowship wrth us and their funds now pass throngii
our hands, they allotting the amounts to each of their aided
fields, and guaranteeing that these shall not exceed the total of
their contributions to our treasury.
The Co-operation Agreement in Home Mission work with
the Presbyterian and Methodist churches will, we hope, make
for better conditions upon some of our Western fields and lead
to less rivalry and the renrioval of overlapping in some of our
Eastern fields.
We have also continued to aot as trustees for the Union in
the matter of the Jubilee Fund liens, for us a thankless task, and
one leading occasionally to petty friction when the churches are

pressed to live up in a business way even to these formally
signed agi-eements. It might be well for your new Executive to
consider the matter of transferring these liens to the Union,
now incorporated and able to hold them, so that they may be
dealt with directly.
Your Executive on your behalf recognized the 75th anni-
versary of the Colonial Missionary Society by sending to them
an address, beautifully illuminated with our Canadian coat of
arms and a border of maple leaves, expressing our appreciation
of their great past assisitance not only in money but in men and
in loving care of the work in our land. Thisi was presented at
their anniversary gathering, held in the Mansion House, Lon-
don, on May 9 last, by Rev. Dr. Hill as- our representative, and
a very hearty letter of appreciation from the Directors of the
Colonial Society has since been received.
We have also, as your representatives, expressed to Mrs.
Charles Cushing and family our very deep sense of loss in the
death of Mr. Charles Cushing, Honorary President of our
Society; for so many years President, and always one of the
most warmhearted and enthusiastic supporters of our work.
We would express appreciation also of the continued co-
operation of the Canada Congregational Woman's Board of
Missions, who this year in the person of N'urse Halpenny on
the Carleton Union field have their first personal worker in
the West. We have extended 'to them through our Secretary
our hearty congratulations upon this the Silver Anniversary of
their Board.
The various departments of our work, Financial, Immigra-
tion Department and Educational Department will be presented
to you by those in charge.
It will be of interest to your contributors to know that the
total revenue for Home and Foreign Missions, including the
Woman's Board, Church Extension, and revenue, as compiled
at the request of the Laymen's Movement, show totals as below
for the official year ending May 31 :
1906 $14,718 57
1907 22,806 79
1908 29.948 75
1909 25.763 78
1910 39.835 24
For 1911 the figures would be about $43,000.00.
CANADA CONGREGATIONAL MISSIONABY SOCIETY. 123
The growing contributions of the churches have enabled us
to undertake much aggressive work in the West in the last few
years, but the growing opportunities upon us also in the East
and the heavy special calls of some of our churches^ in temiporary
difficulties will make it necessary for us to very carefully con-
sider the enlargement of our resources by curtailing present
grants where possible and also by endeavoring to increase the
steady flow of generosity from our churches. ^
ht is with pleasure also that we welcome to this meeting of
our Society Dr. A. E. Garvie, Principal of ITew College, Lou-
don, and an ex-Chairman of the Colonial Society.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

EDUCATIOIS^AL SECRETAEY'S REPOET.
In presenting the report for this department I want first to
express my appreciation of 'the co-operation of the men in the
churches who have assisted the Secretary in bringing the news
of the mission fields to the notice of our people through the
columns of The Congregationalist. It has been my plan to
keep the work before our people 'through the Home Missionary
column of The C ongi-egationalist. Sometimes home missionary
news has appeared without this caption, nevertheless it has
reached the people and made known what is being done.
The annual Home Missionary literature has been issued, at
a cost of $92.85, including printing and postage. This litera-
ture was in the form of folders for the churches and Sunday
Schools, and envelopes for both adults and children, also cir-
culars to pastors, church clerks and Sunday School superin-
tendents. The folder for the churches was entitled " Did you
Know?" This folder gave a short review of what had been
done in our churches for Home Missions during the past few
years, a vision of the work to be done and a call to the people
to respond to the opportunity. The folder for the Sunday
Schools was entitled " Newcomers." This folder described
the immigration into Canada and presented -the need of pro-
viding religious training for the peoples coming to our land.
124 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
There were nine thousand Church folders and nine thousand
Sunday School folders and a corresponding number of
envelopes. In addition to these, circulars were sent to pastors,
church clerks and Sunday School superintendents, drawing
itheir attention to the literature which had been sent under an-
other cover, and urging them to look after the circulation of
the same in their local fields. The special Home Missionary
number of the C ongregationalist presented the mission work
in many fields.
I mailed copies of all this literature to (the members of our
Home Missionary Executive, to members of the General Com-
mittee, also to Dr. Burford Hooke, Secretary of The Colonial
Missionary Society.
The words of appreciation of the literature issued lead one
to believe the work has not been in vain.
The amount of correspondence done through this office dur-
ing the past year has not been large, as the cJiurches are
naturally communicating directly with our General Secretary.
Respectfully submitted.
J. Lambert Alexander,
Educational Secretary.

REPORT OF THE IMMIGRATION DEPARTMENT.
In presenting this fourth annual report of this department
of our Home Missionary work, it is a pleasure for your Super-
intendent to record the fact ithat the past season has been one
of the busiest and most successful since we began to think
specially of our newcomers and to provide for their welcome.
For two seasons the tide of immigration slackened and the
number of Congregationalists met dropped to about one-third
of that recorded for the first year of our work. But conditions
have changed again, and we are able this year to record a most
satisfactory increase in the volume of Congregational immigra-
tion.
Following the plan inaugurated two years ago our work at
Quebec has been carried on jointly for the Baptists and Con-
gregationalists, under the special oversight of your Superin-
CANADA CONGREGATIONAL MISSIONARY SOCIETY. 125
tendent. Mr. L. C. Whitelaw, B.A., who had just graduated
from McMaster Universkj, was the chaplain last summer, and
in every way proved himself to be a most conscientious, pains-
taking and efficient worker. As is usually the case the things
that counted most in his work are those which cannot be re-
counted in a report or tabulated in figuresi. But in the way
of actually heartening men and women as they set their feet
for the first time on the shores of a new country, of looking
after special cases, and in generally keeping in sympathetic
touch with tihe needs of our future citizens, Mr. Whitelaw's
work counted for much. Had it been possible we would have
retained him for another season, but in obedience to the call of
his Master he is now at work as a. missionary in China.
At St. John, l^.B., owing to the fact that our church has
been vacant for the winter months, we have had no chaplain at
work, but Rev. Dr. Paterson, of the Presbyterian Church, has
again placed us under obligation by his kind distribution of
our introduction cards and folders to all the Congregational
immigrants he came in contact with.
The following figures show the total number of Congrega-
tionalists met during the season :
At Quebec by Mr. Whitelaw 1,467
At St. John by Dr. Paterson, say 100
Total 1,567
For comparison the figures for the other seasons in which
we have been engaged in the work are given as follows :
For 1909-10 568
For 1908-09 718
For 1907-08 1,485
We are glad to be able to again record a decrease in the
percentage of those going to places where we have no churches.
This season it is only 31 per cent., as compared with 44 per
cent, last season and 52 per cent, the season before.
Another fact worthy of our careful attention is that the
proportion of those going to Winnipeg and the West is continu-
ing to increase. Thus, in 1907, 75 per cent, of the incoming
Congregationalists remained east of Winnipeg, and a large part
of these went to Toronto and Montreal. This last season 41
126 CONGREGATIONAL YEAK BOOK.
per cent, were bound for Winnipeg and the West. This in-
creasing proportion should be noted carefully in relaition to our
plans for extension work in the West, although it is still evi-
dent, contrary to the popular opinion, that the larger number
of our people remain in the East.
Of the total number received last year the four large centres
got the following proportions :
Montreal 11%
Toronto 22%
Winnipeg 12%
Vancouver 11%
This season's work shows promise of a still further increase
in the volume of newcomers. Already for the first month the
number met at Quebec is larger than the total number met
during -the entire time two years ago. Mr. P. V. Samson, of
our College, is the chaplain in charge for this summer, and Mr.
J. Arthur Steed is secretary for Montreal, acting under the
direction of the Congregational Council through your Super-
intendent.
Worthy of the most careful consideration of our Society is
the possibility of work among the foreign population of our
great cities. In this we have not yet taken our share. Possibly
the plan of co-operation already in force between the Presby-
terian, Methodist and Congregational Churches may afford us
the opportunity of entering upon it, and it is hoped that when
the time comes we shall be ready for it.
An exhibit of the folders, introduction cards and other
literature used in the work has been prepared for this meeting
and will tell its own story.
Kespectfully submitted.

Honorary Superintendent.

TKEASURER'S REPORT, 1910-11.
The printed statement which has been distributed shows
that the total receipts on account of the General Fund amounted
to $11,502.67, as against $12,276.12 the previous year, a de-
crease of $773.45.
It will, perhaps, be interesting to compare these figures
with the receipts for last year and see where the differences
occur. The following are the increases and decreases:

An analysis of these figures shows that while the total de-
crease from all sources has been $773.45, the falling off in con-
tributions from the churches amounted to $204.73.
The largest decrease in any one district was in Ontario
Central, $273.60, which was more than the net decrease in con-
tributions from all the churches. We regret to report the large
decrease in this district, which is occasioned by a slump in the
contributions from the Toronto churches. Bond Street Church,
however, shows an increase. $416.00 as against $350.00 the
previous year. Well done. Bond Street.
The following is a list of the churches contributing more
than $100.00 to Home Missions.
128 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
Emmanuel Church, Montreal, heads the list with $809.44,
followed by Calvary Church, Montreal, with $659.00, the others
being :
Bond Street, Toronto $416 00
Northern, Toronto 272 06
Granby 234 40
Brantford 159 95
Kingston, Bethel 147 22
Maxville Ill 00
Hamilton, First 356 04
Western, Toronto 250 00
Zion, Montreal 227 05
Sherbrooke 153 40
Vancouver, First 113 75
The Sunday School contributing the largest amount was
Zion, of Montreal, $120.05, followed by Emmanuel, Montreal,
with $40.40. There is a large margin between these two sub-
scriptions. We would like to see more interest taken in our
work by the Sunday Schools. A very welcome contribution of
$75.00 was received from the Young People's Society of the
Northern Church, Toronto. The statement which is before you
also shows that we disbursed on account of the General Mission
Fund the sum of $15,386.34, or $3,865.67 more than we re-
ceived, wiping out the balance of $2,199.00 brought forward
from last year, and carrying forward a balance of $1,666.67
on the wrong side into next year.
This cannot keep up. If we are to do our share of ithe
growing work in Canada we must have more support from the
churches. Ours is a great opportunity in this rapidly develop-
ing country. I trust God will help us to fully realize our re-
sponsibility.
The following amount was received after the books closed:
Broadview Avenue Church, Toronto, $26.52.
A special amount of $2,000.00 received from the sale of a
site in Fairview, Vancouver, having come from General Fund,
has since been ordered by the Committee to be credited to Gen-
eral Fund. This would change the balance to $333.63 on hand,
but does not alter the serious discrepancy between expense and
ordinary revenue.

CONGREGATIONAL COLLEGE OF CANADA. 157
EEPORT OF THE SENATE FOR THE SESSION END-
ING APRIL 26th, 1911.
The College term opened wifth public exercises on the 5th
of October last. The Rev. J. Martin, Ph.D., the new pastor of
Calvary Church, gave an address on the subject of " Endue-
ment with Power."
The closing exercises, which were throughout of a most
enthusiastic character, began with the annual college sermon,
which was preached in Emmanuel Church on the 23rd of April,
by the Rev. Hugh Pedley, B.A. The convocation was held on
the 26th of April. Rev. Ozora S. Davis, D.D., President of the
Chicago Theological Seminary, was present and delivered an
address on " The Leadership of the Church."
STUDENTS.
The classes resumed on the 17th of Sep'tember with nine-
teen students in attendance.
Two withdrew in the course of the year. Of these one had
only just entered upon the Association Course, and the otther
was in his second preparatory year. The latter repaid all
monies expended by the college on his account, and both retired
with the respect and good wishes of the facuky. A third was
advised to withdraw for the present on account of physical dis-
abilities.
There remained, therefore, at the end of the sessivin.
sixteen students on the roll. Of these four were in the Pre-
paratory Department, three were in the University, and nine
were in Theology.
Of the latter, one — the Rev. S. W. Anthony — ^was a gradu-
ate of the college, pursuing post-graduate studies looking to the
degree of B.D. His presence was an expression of affection for
and confidence in his Alma Mater, which the Faculty appreci-
ated, and the Senate has reason to believe that his example
would be followed by others if 'the means were only available.
The Faculty in its report to the Senate bore testimony to
the fine spirit of the students who "throughout the whole ses-
sion co-operated with the professors in the endeavor to maintain
the highest standard both of conduct and work, so that in spito
158 CONGREGATIONAL YEAK BOOK.
of the fact that the Principal was greatly missed, both in coun-
sel and administration, a most successful year had been enjoyed.
One of the ways in which (the spirit of co-operation mani-
fested itself is worthy of special mention. We refer to the
PULPIT SUPPLY COMMITTEE.
Our students are in frequent demand as preachers, either as
occasional or permanent supplies. Throughout the winter we
have had charge of the pulpits of Ottawa South, Franklin
Centre, Brigham, and Alburg (Vermont), Amherst Park,
Crystal Springs and Charlemagne, and for a considerable
period of Fitch Bay and Cowansville. A year ago a committee
was appointed to co-operate with the Principal in arranging the
weekly supply and attempts were made to bring some measure
of order into the work. This year the committee, consisting of
the Principal and two students, has held regular weekly meet-
ings, and thoroughly supervised the work to the immense relief
of the Principal and the entire satisfaction of the student body.
MEDICAL OFFICERS.
The College has again had the advantage of the skill of Dr.
Charles Gurd, who throughout the whole session was untiring
in his care of the men. To him professors and students are
alike indebted. Dr. Edward Archibald performed a delicate
and difficult operation on one of the students and continued to
give him his care so long as the session lasted. The Senate
has expressed the gratitude of the College to these gentlemen
for their valuable and gratuitous services.
SPECIAL LECTURESHIPS.
The McKechnie Lectureship was filled by the Eev. James
Watt Raine, M.A., B.D., Professor of English Literature in
Berea College. Prof. Raine took for his subject " The Preacher's
Use of Literature."
The Young People's English Bible Course was delivered by
the Rev. B. S. Winchester, D.D., of Boston, Educational Sec-
retary of the Congregational Sunday School and Publishing
Society. Dr. Winchester's theme was : " The Bible as a Source
CONOKEGATIONAL COLLEGE OF CANADA. 159,
Book for Religious Pedagogy." Both courses were enjoyed by
a number of friends from other colleges, city pastors and church,
workers, besides the students of our College.
A special course of lectures on the Religions of India was
given by the Rev. E .C. Woodley, M.A., to the class in Compara,-
tive Religion. These were of great interest and of particular
value, because of 'the personal experience of the lecturer with
some of these forms, and with the people among whom they
have been powerful.
DEATH OF MRS. M^KECIINIE.
The pleasure of the first named course was, however, marred
by the sad news which reached Montreal while the lectures were
in progress, of the death of the generous benefactress through
whose thoughtful kindness the lectureship had been maintained
for the last ten years. In the death of Mrs. McKechnie the Col-
lege loses a most valuable friend, one whose interest in the
college was intelligent and keen, and who was ever ready to
aid it in every way.
EXTRA-MURAL WORK.
In addition to the regular work of the clashes the Jj'aculty
has again guided the studies and conducted examinations of
several men not enrolled as regular students of the College.
Messrs Bevis, of Margaree and Sulston, of Economy, IST.S.,
have been working on a prescribed course under the direction
of the Home Missionary Society. Two of our graduates, viz.,
the Rev. J. T. Daley and 'the Rev. G. E. Read, have kindly
consented to give them the benefit of their personal care and
guidance.
Mr. Frank Sanders, in charge of the Church at Middle-
ville, is also being guided in his studies at the request of the
Union Executive, and the Rev. Wal'ter Cannon, of Milton,
N.S., began work on the College Extension Reading Courses.
Six men have also done considerable work on the B.D.
Course, viz.. Students Moule and Tucker, the Rev. G. L.
Powell of Coldwell, Idaho, the Rev. Ernest Knight of Subiaco,
South Australia, the Rev. Matthew Kelly of "Watford and the
Rev. S. W. Anthony, as post-graduate student.
160 CONGEEGATIONAL YEAE BOOK.
Valuable assistance was rendered to the Faculty in setting
and examining papers by Prof. Pat4;on, of the Methodist Col-
lege, as well as by the Eevs. F. J. Day and E. C. Woodley,
associate examiners. The Senate has added the Kev. G. E.
Read and J. T. Daley to the number of Associate Examiners.
EXAMINATIONS AND AWARDS.
The Christmas and Sessional Examinations were duly held.
Six men successfully completed their course and received
the diploma of the College, viz., Robert Wilson Carr, George
Joseph Hindley, Aeneas James MacKenzie, Herbert Moule,
B.H., Albert George Sleep, and John Taylor Tucker.
Mr. Tucker was awarded the Stevenson Memorial (gold)
Medal, and Mr. A. J. MacKenzie the Calvary Church (silver)
Medal. The first is for the highest aggregate of marks in the
whole work of the session, the second is for the highest marks in
the Department of Church History.
Mr. Tucker and Mr. Moule were each awarded a Robert
Anderson Bursary of the value of $30, While the third Bursary
of the same amount was divided equally between Mr. A, J.
MacKenzie and Mr. G. J. Hindley, who stood equal in the
third place on the entire work of the final year.
The Charles Alexander Bursary of $25 for the first Theo-
logical year was awarded to Charles Gushing.
The Maria Sawtell Bursary of $30 for the second year in
Theology no^ being required was devoted to the Preparatory
Department and awarded as follows: A first prize of $20 to
Mr. J, A. Steed, and a second prize of $10 to Mr. T. W. Jones.
In regard to the students in the University we report that
Mr. Miner generously conitributed $100 to be applied towards
the payment in full of the University fees of the three under-
graduates who are all in the first year. This was accordingly
done. Two prizes were also offered and awarded as follows:
Nineteen dollars as a first prize to Mr. Godfrey Cooper,
and $10 as a second prize to Mr. P. Victor Samson.
We have also to report that Mr. A. Huntley Duff has offered
an annual prize of $5 for the purchase of books to be given to
the student of the College obtaining highest marks in Greek of
the first year Arts. This prize has been awarded to Mr. Robert
Fairgrieve.
CONGREGATIONAL COLLEGE OF CANADA.. 161
B.D. DEGKEE.
The degree of Bachelor of Divinity was conferred upon Mr.
Herbert Moule, B.H., and the Kev. Gideon Little Powell, B.A.,
Ph.D., they having passed all the examinations and fulfilled all
the conditions pertaining thereto.
CONCLUSION.
In concluding this report we would express our gratification
at the fact that we have so large a graduating class and at a
time when there is so great a demand for workers. Every one
of them goes immediately from college to some specific field of
work. Moreover, had we more students available for service
during the vacation we could find employment for them. The
significance of this college to the maintenance and development
of the life of our churches has never been more conspicuously
sihown than at this moment, when a graduating class of six men,
in addition to a post-graduate student have all found promis-
ing spheres of service. What would it mean for our churches
if we could send forth such a class every year ?
Respectfully submitted.
W. Henry Warriner,
Registrar.
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAIS' TO THE BOARD OF
GOVERI^ORS OF THE COITGREGATIOl^AL
COLLEGE OF CANADA.
Gentlemen, —
During the year just closed, from May 1st, 1910, 'to May
1st, 1911, 70 volumes were added to the Library, of which six-
teen were gifts, and fifty-four were purchased. The system
recently inaugurated by which the shelves can be checked at
any time, within a few hours enables us 'to keep accurate
account of our working library. The two checkings of the
shelves during the past year have shown that a few books have
disappeared from them without record being left. Some of
these will doubtless yet 'turn up. Although the present system
enables the librarian to control the library in a way hitherto
impossible, it must still depend on the honor and care of those
162 CONGKEGATIONAL YEAK BOOK.
using the library for its full effeativeness, and it is evident
that some of those who have taken advantage of its privileges
have failed to keep the regulations, either through ignorance or
carelessness.
The library is being constantly used by members of our
ministry in different parts of Canada as well as by our pro-
fess'ors and students', and we believe it is thus serving in the
best way the churches which support the College.
The accompanying financial statement shows that $23.11
has been expended for clerical work in connection with the ad-
ministration of the library, for indexing books, checking
shelves, etc. An appropriation for administration expenses was
asked for in our report a year ago, but was not made, so far as
the Librarian or Treasurer of the College were informed. The
balance remaining from previous year was overdrawn slightly,
and an appropriation of $30 for administration is desired for
this year. As the work thus paid for multiplies the value of the
library, it seems an economical use of the funds su appropriated.
Mr. Miner has kindly continued his gift of the periodicals
to the library, and a very useful list of papers and magazines
is ithus maintained in the library.
The summary of the financial accounts of the library, pre-
sented herewith, will make it unnecessary to present the figures
in this report.
Respectfully submitted,
E. Albert Cook,
Librarian.

The matter of special interest in these accounts is the
amount of receipts for books and periodicals, as all that comes
in can be very well used, sooner or later. A comparison of this
year's actual receipts, exclusive of balance on hand from last
year, with the corresponding sum a year ago, shows this year's
receipts, $116.59 to be $19.13 less than last year's, which were
$135.72. Two special gifts of $10 each in last year's receipts
account for the difference.
REPOKT OF HOUSE COMMITTEE TO GOVERNORS
OF CONGREGATIONAL COLLEGE OF CANADA.
Your Committee would report that the property of the col-
lege is in good condition ; that a fire escape has been installed
during the year in conformity with the building laws of the
City of Montreal ; that a new stone flag sidewalk has been laid.
Your Committee would record its sense of loss in the sad
death of Mr. Charles Cushing, whose thoughtful interest and
kindly co-operation were always valuable and ready factors in
connection with the committee's work. This vacancy has not
been filled.
Your Committee would record its indebtedness to the
Ladies' Auxiliary, whose loyal and practical contributions to
the upkeep of the College furnishings really made the work of
the Committee somewhat of a sinecure.
Your Committee would also record its appreciation of the
services of the steward and stewardess, the latter of w'hom, by
her kindliness and almost motherly interest and concern, has
won expressions of very appreciative regard from the young
men of the college.
Respectfully submitted.

REPOKT OF THE LADIES' AUXILIARY OF THE
CONGREGATIOITAL COLLEGE.
The annual meeting of the Ladies' Auxiliary of the College
was held May Sth, 1911, in the College library. Last year's
officers were re-elected for the ensuing year, viz. :
Hon. President Mrs. C. R. Black.
President Mrs. W. D. Lighthall.
First Y ice-President Mrs. S. H. C. Miner.
Second Vice-President Mrs. Hugh Pedley.
Secretary Mrs. W. H. (Smith.
Treasurer Mrs. Chas. Gurd.
In April, 1910, an appeal was sent to all the Congregational
Churches in Canada asking for donations of household linen
and kitchen supplies for the College, In response the sum of
$77.75 has been received, which includes $20.00 sent from
Winnipeg towards a carpet for the library. Wardrobes have
been furnished for the Danville and Paris rooms, and door plates
for the Rock Island, Danville, Brantford, London and Fitch
Bay rooms. All rooms are now supplied with wardrobes and
door plates, which greatly improves their appearance. Miss
Silcox kindly sent a carpet for the Paris room, which had been
used in Zion Church, Toronto, in her Bible class room; also
some table linen from that church. Supplies of bed and table
linen were received from Bond Street, Pine Grove, Woodbridge,
Ottawa and Bethlehem (Montreal) churches. Humber Sum-
mit sent one rug, and Brooklyn, IST.S., one quilt; Pine Grove
and Woodbridge, two rugs. The supply of linen for the Col-
lege is not yet complete, and donations in this line will be ap-
preciated by the Committee.
The Committee has felt the absence of Mrs. Hill during
tlie year, she being more in touch with the needs of the College
and the student life than any of the other members.
We feel that the rooms should be made as comfortable and
as homelike as possible for the students who occupy them, and
while some of the rooms are very comfortable others are not.
It is to be hoped that each church will feel its responsibility in
this work of making the only Congregational College in Canada
a desirable and pleasant place for young men to pursue their
studies.
Respectfully submitted.

TEEASUKER'S REPORT.
The Treasurer is pleased in being able to report a good year
financially.
In Ontario one half of the churches have contributed two
more than last year, and an increase in amount of $139.31.
In Quebec sixteen churches out of twenty have contributed
with an increase of $260.39.
In the Maritime Provinces one half of the churches have
remembered us, but a decrease in amount of $35.51.
In the ]^orth-West one church has increased its contribution
from $7.00 to $25.00, but there is a decrease in personal sub-
scriptions, leaving a net decrease of $2.00.
Our thanks are due to Mrs. S. H. C. Miner for her donation
of $1,800 ; to Mrs. McKechnie for $120 for a lectureship ; to
Mr. Miner for a special contribution of $100 to help pay McGill
fees ; to Mr. Robertson Macaulay for $120 for bursaries ; and
to Mr. A. Huntley Duff for $5 for a prize in Greek.
We have a small balance of $47.68 in the revenue account.
On behalf of the Trustees Endowment Fund I have to
report an increase of $1,234.40.
Of this amount $1,000 was from Mr. C. H. Black, a former
student in the College and a son of Rev. R. K. Black. He did
not finish his course, buit sends this as a return for the education
he received years ago.
The investments are all in good shape, and are entered at
what they cost.
I herewith present the financial statements duly audited by
Mr. H. J. Ross, accountant.

1T6 CONGEEGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
Mr. Gunn's address was replete with facts and figures, prov-
ing beyond a doubt tbat Canadian Congregationalism need not
be asihamed of the last deciade of its history or its present stand-
ing. The Chairman asked Mr. Gimn to give some light upon
the question of Church Union. Mr. Gunn said that if Church
Union upon the basis decided upon by the joint committee of
the three negotiating churches, did not become an actual fact in
the very near future, it would not be due to any obstruction
placed in its way in Canada.

At 10 a.m. the chair was taken by the Secretary, Rev. Mr.
Gibson, the Chairman of the Union, and his family, being in
great affliction, his little son, Roy, having fallen a victim to diph-
theria, and while Friday evening's service was in progress he
passed into the heavens. The sympathy of the Union was
expressed by a rising vote and a tender prayer by Rev. Mr.
Whyte.
The -following recommendations of the Union Committee
were passed without discussion:
1. On motion, the office of Official Correspondent of the
Canadian C ongregationalist was dropped.
2. That the apportionment of 1911-12 be left in the hands
of the Interim Committee, to prepare a complete schedule of tihe
amounts to be given to the five denominational objects and to
submit the same to all the churches.
3. That the balance due the publishers of the Year Book
be paid, and that the printing of the minutes in the Year Book
for 1911-12 shall not be subject to the limitations of any definite
sum ; and the Secretary be authorized to forward a report of the
Union according to his best judgment.
4. That the Union Badge be continued.
5. That the report of the Council of the Liverpool and
Milton Churches be received.
6. That the invitation of the Liverpool Church to hold the
Union with them in 1912 be accepted.
7. That the matter of a certain sum of money reported to
be with a Trust and Loan Company in Halifax belonging to
our denomination, be left in the hands of Rev. W. T. Gunn,
who shall co-operate with our Treasurer.
The Membership Committee recommend the following reso-
lution :
178 CQJSTGREGATIONAL YEAK BOOK.
That, in view of the fact of our Membership Committee
being compelled to recommend the dropping from the roll of
certain names, instead of granting a transfer, Resolved, that the
Union of ]SJ".S. and 'N.J^. in future adhere to the rules laid down
in the Year Book, which deal with the ordination and installa-
tion of the pastors of our churches.
On recommendation of the Union Committee it was unanim-
ously resolved to allow the C. C. M. S. to sell the Truro church
property.
It was also unanimously resolved that a pastoral letter
should he sent to each of the churdies, signed by the Chairman
and Secretary, and Rev. Mr. Gunn, as follows :
"Resolved, that this Union urge upon all the churches, in
view of the increased cost of living, that it should be the aim
of each church to increase the pastor's salary at least 25 per
cent., land the duplex envelope be recommended as the most suc-
cessful method of raising funds for the local and missionary
objects of the churches."
The Treasurer, Mr. Chas. E. MacMichael, then submitted
his annual report, which was adopted, and a standing vote of
thanks was given to the Treasurer for his valuable services to
the Union. Mr. MacMichael made a suitable reply.
The Union then adjourned to attend the funeral of little
Roy Gibson, and to show their tender sympathy for the bereaved
family in their deep affliction.
A very able paper was then read by Rev. Walter Cannon, of
Milton, on "Some Church and Ministerial Problems."
A very lively and exceedingly helpful discussion followed.
The Special Resolutions Committee moved the following
resolutions :
CONDOLENCE.
Resolved:

of the members of our churches who during the past year have

SPECIAL RESOLUTION OF SYMPATHY.
Tliat this Union desires to express its tenderest sympathy
with Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Gibson in their deep affliction, and its
profoundest sorrow on account of the death of their only son,
and would earnestly pray that He who comforteth the mourners
would comfort and sustain them in this sad hour.
OUR COLLEGE.
That we have been highly profited by the address on "Our
College and the Call for Men," by Rev. J. T. Tucker, and we
would recommend the College to the confidence and hearty sup-
port of the churches, and we urgently press upon the attention
of our churches the great need of calling out the young men of
consecration and gifts to take up the work of the Christian min-
istry, and to take advantage of the excellent facilities provided
by our College in affiliation with McGill University, to give
the necessiary equipment in Arts as well as Theology.
TEMPERANCE.
That in view of the great evil resulting form the use of in-
toxicating liquors as a beverage, we urgently recommend to our
churches the principle and practice of total abstinence, and that
we urge upon our ministers and churches to support in every
possible way the most advanced temperance legislation that can
be obtained.
THE CANADIAN CONGREGATIONALIST.
That this Union earnestly commends the Canadian Congre-
gationalist to all the members of our churches for their hearty
support and co-operation.

Tbat this Union protests most strongly against the interfer-
ence with /the sanctity of the marriage tie, by the Ne Temere

country in regard to marriage.

presided. Rev. John T. Tucker addressed the children, taking
them on an imaginary trip to Chisamba, where they were intro-
duced to two little miniature African children, "Skobo and
Selina," and learned from them much of what the children in
Africa suffer from the want of the knowledge of a Saviour who
said, "Suffer little children to come unto Me and forbid them
not. for of such is the kingdom of Heaven.
Sunday Evening.
At 7 p.m. a very large audience assembled for public wor-
ship. Rev. W, T. Gunn, M.A., B.D., preached a most appro-

CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
THE WOKLD'S COJ^OKEGATIOISTALISM.
AN INCREASE OF 7,178 MEMBERS.
We give below the statistics of Congregatioiiialism through-
out the world, which, it is satisfadtory to note, again show an
increase in membership, this year of 7,178. The increase re-
^ corded in the number of churches, chapels, and preaching sta-
tions, is in a measure due to the receipt of more complete returns
of the out-stations of the London Missionary Society. It should
be pointed out that the statistics do not include the returns of
the Free Congregational Churches on the Continent of Europe,
for which no statistics are available ; nor figures relating to the
McAU Mission in France, or to the work carried on by the
Evangelical Continental Society. We are indebted to Mr. John
Minshull, of the Memorial Hall, for these figures, which he has
been able to prepare after analysing and tabulating the returns
in the new issue of the American "Congregational Year Book"
recently to hand.

The twenty-fifth annual meeting of the Canada Congrega-

Toronto, on Thursday and Friday, June 1st and 2nd, 1911,
with 90 registered delegates in attendance.
Mrs. Moodie, the President, opened the Convention on
Thursday morning and conducted the devotional service. The
Business Committee (Mrs. Yeigh, Convener) and the Com-
mittee on Resolutions (Mrs. Cale, Convener) were appointed on
recommendation of the Executive, Miss Johnston, of Belwood,
and Mrs. B^arker, of Toronto, were appointed Minute Secre-
taries.
The reports from the several Branches and the auxiliaries
in the West were particularly encouraging. A letterogram was
received from the First Church Auxiliary, Vancouver, and
greetings and congratulations from the Woman's Board, of
Boston. The organization of a Coast Branch was reported as
being under consideration by Western ladies. New Mission
Bands were reported from Winnipeg Central, Maxville,
Gowansville, Edgar, Pt. St. Charles, and twenty-eight auxili-
aries gave increased membership.
Mrs. Dr. Stevenson, of Toronto, and Mrs. MacCallum, of

Mrs. A. J. Stephen and Mrs. J. B. Lamb, of Ottawa, and Mrs.
Sanderson, of Danville (charter members). Thursday after-
noon the President, Mrs. Moodie, gave her annual address, in
which she very ably contrasted missionary methods and growth
of fifty years ago with the progress made to-day.
In behalf of the Toronto Branch, its President, Mrs. J. D.
Nasmith, welcomed the visitors to the city, and Mrs. Yeigh,
cf Brantford, replied in a very happy way for the latter, at the
first luncheon served in the schoolroom.
The Secretary's report showed a year of progress in almost
every department. Twenty-two new life members had been
added, making 160 in all. Six more names had been placed on
the Memorial List.
Miss Thompson's financial statement showed total contribu-
tions, $4,655.27.

FIFTY-FOURTH AE^NUAL REPORT OF THE PROVI-
DENT FUND SOCIETY.
Your Directors are again able to report a steady growth in
mem'bershi'p as well as assets.
Three new members have been added again this year, they
are : Rev. J. G. Hindley, in W. & O. B. ; Rev. J. Lambert
Alexander, in both branches; Rev. G. Watt Smith, in R.M.B.
This makes an addition of twelve new members in four years.
The Rev. E. H. Tippett has resigned from the Fund.
Again we have to record with sorrow the loss of one of our
many staunch friends — this time a fellow Director- — Mr. Chas.
Cushing, whose sudden taking away was such a shock to the
whole brotherhood.
At a meeting of the Board on the 14'th October, 1910, Mr.
W. A. Wood, a faithful and tried worker in Calvary Church,
was elected to fill the vacancy.
Subsequently our almost life-long Co-Director, Mr. Chas R.
Black, felt constrained through bad health "to resign as Presi-
dent and Director. Your Board' saw fit to lay the matter over
and it is still on the table. Your Board recommends that Mr.
196 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
Black, in view of a long and faithful service, be elected Hon.
Life President.
The Eetiring Ministers' Branch has now become so promis-
ing that a special meeting was called to consider the possibility
of increasing ithe annuity to the four gentlemen now receiving
same: Kevs. W. W. Smith, J. Unsworth, R. K. Black and D
Macallum. It was found beyond the power of the Board, and it
was unanimously resolved :
That a recommendation be made to the Corporation at its
next meeting that all interfering by-laws be suspended if pos-
sible, so as to enable an increase of 50 per cent, being given to
the four present annuitants.
This matter is now in your hands.
The Directors also recommend, and notice of motion is now
given, that By-law 3, clause 1, be amended by inserting the
words " and Missionaries of the C.C.F.M.S." after the word
"annuitants" on first line, so that ordained missionaries may be
members of the Fund.
In the R.M.B. twenty-six churches have sent $550.39, being
$184.46 more than sixteen churches gave last year. This is
the record.
In the W & O.B. four churches sent $40.45, being $30.45
more than two churches gave last year; a total net increase of
$214.91 over last year.
The Capital Accounts of both funds show a considerable
increase, notably the E..M. Branch.
The Treasurer's report is the best ever placed before the
Society.
Respectfully submitted,
H. J. Ross^
Secretary.
PKOVIDENT FUND SOCIETY. 197
TKEASURER'S REPORT.
It is with a great deal of pleasure that your Treasurer pre-^
sen-ts his report this year.
It is the best in the nineteen years he has held the office.
More churches are taking an interest in the Society, and more
ministers are joining the ranks of the beneficiaries.
After meeting all obligations, we have been able to carry
one thousand dollars to capital account in the W. & O.B., leav-
ing five hundred and forty-one dollars and eighty-three cents to
credit of revenue account.
In the R.M.B. we have carried eight hundred dollars to
capital account, the largest amount we have ever been able to
do, leaving three hundred and eighteen dollars and sixty-one
cents to credit of revenue account.
The investmen'ts are all in good shape and are given in the
list of assets at cost prices. The largest part is in the Montreal
Loan and Mortgage Co., which is quoted on the market at 140
bid, sellers 150.
The financial statemeni:s, duly audited, are herewith pre-
sented.
The Whole respectfully submitted,
Thos. Moodie^
Treasurer.

has published The Canadian Congregationalist, exercising his
usual care, while the Methodist Book and Publishing House

There is a small decrease in the number of paid up subscrip-

Meeting held in Cobourg, your Directors present the resolution
forwarded to them by the Congregational Union of Canada,

This is to certify that we have subjected a
sample of " GURD'S " Caledonia 'Water to
careful chemical analysis, and find it to be a
perfectly safe, sanitary, alkaline, mineral
water of the mild laxative type and free from
any organic impurities.

A UNIQUE VOLUME
BOOK OF
FAMILY WORSHIP
Being Selections from Scripture and Prayers for
Use in the Home.
CHOSEN AND COMPOSED BY
R.ev. William D. Lee
A selection of Scripture with prayer for every day of the
week for twenty-six weeks, and worship and prayers for special
occasions, also blank Family Record of Marriages, Births,
Deaths, etc.
This manual of family worship is an effort to supply a
need much felt at the present time.
The decline of the practice of having prayers, of setting up
the family altar, is a serious question, indeed the present and
future welfare of our country depends upon our home life ; it
must be kept sacred and holy, and the means for the conser-
vation and promotion of it is PRAYER, individual and family
prayer.
This manual has been prepared to meet the great need for
a simple yet adequate service for the home altar.

the world can be de-
pended upon. We furn-
ish spring beds on wood

The finest springs are

DON'T GAMBLE
with death. The man who has any one
depending upon his earning ability and
carries no life assurance is gambling
with death. A few cents a day in-
vested in a policy with the
Sun Life of Canada
will give a man an easy mind regard-

wall of protection, against want,
around his home.
Write to Head Office, Montreal, for particulars
regarding the policy you want.
